Synopsis "Th bit ibn Qurra"

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Al- bi Th bit ibn Qurra al- arr n (836 February 18, 901) was an Mandean physician, who was known as Thebit in Latin. A great translator, astronomer, and mathematician. Thabit was born in Harran (known as Carrhae in antiquity) in Mesopotamia (in modern day Iraq). At the invitation of Muhammad bin Musa bin Shakir, one of the Banu Musa brothers, Thabit went to study in Baghdad at the House of Wisdom. He belonged to the Sabians of Harran sect, a sect of Hermeticists. Sources credit him to be a Mandaean. In either case, both sects have a great interest in astronomy, astrology, and mathematics (especially in the case of Mandaeans). This sect lived in the vicinity of the main center of the Caliphate until 1258, when the Mongols destroyed their last shrine.
