The House of Wisdom was a library, public academy, and intellectual center[1] located in the Abbasiyah district of the Abbasid Caliphate's capital city, Baghdad.[2]
History
Around 820, the mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was appointed as the House of Wisdom's astronomer and head librarian.[3] 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.[4]
Behind the scenes
Historically the House of Wisdom was located within the Round City of Baghdad, not in the outer lying Abbasiyah district.
