House of Wisdom

The House of Wisdom was a library, public academy, and intellectual center located in the Abbasiyah district of the Abbasid Caliphate's capital city, Baghdad.

History

Around 820, the mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was appointed as the House of Wisdom's astronomer and head librarian. While there, he met a young Basim Ibn Ishaq, who was a frequent visitor. One day, when Basim had been reading one of al-Khwarizmi's studies, the polymath plucked them from his grasp and started teaching Basim astronomy and mathematics.

Behind the scenes

Historically the House of Wisdom was located within the Round City of Baghdad, not in the outer lying Abbasiyah district.
