Maslamah Ibn Ahmad Al Majriti

Maslama al-Majriti, Al-Majriti (Arabic ) (b. Madrid - d. 1008 or 1007 CE), was an Muslim astronomer, chemist, mathematician, economist and Scholar in Islamic Spain. He took part in the translation of Ptolemy's Planispherium, improved existing translations of the Almagest, introduced and improved the astronomical tables of al-Khwarizmi, aided historians by working out tables to convert Persian dates to Hijri years, and introduced the techniques of surveying and triangulation. He was among the most brilliant of Spanish Muslims during the reign of Al-Hakam II according to Said Al-Andalusi was the best mathematician and astronomer of his time. He also introduced new surveying methods by working closely with his colleague Ibn al-Saffar. He also wrote an important book on taxation and the economy of Al-Andalus. Al-Majriti is greatly reputed for his influential chemical writing. Two chemical writings, the "Sage's Step" (Rutbat al-hakim) and the "Aim of the Wise" (Ghayat al-hakim), are ascribed to him. Both of his works on Chemistry were translated into Latin in 1252 and named Picatrix; the original Arabic text dates probably from the middle of the eleventh century. The Book The Sage's Step, was also written by Al-Majriti, in 1047-50. Rutbat Al-Hakim (The Rank of the Wise), which amongst other things gives formulae and instructions for purification of precious metals. It was collected and put together in the year 1009, two years after his death. In this work, Al-Majriti was also the first to prove the principle of conservation of mass. Al-Majriti was also the first the experiment on mercuric oxide: I took natural quivering mercury, free from impurity, and placed it in a glass vessel shaped like an egg. This I put inside another vessel like a cooking pot, and set the whole apparatus over an extremely gentle fire. The outer pot was then in such a degree of heat that I could bear my hand upon it. I heated the apparatus day and night for forty day, after which I opened it. I found that the mercury (the original weight of which was a quarter of a pound) had been completely converted into red powder, soft to touch, the weight remaining as it was originally. He edited and made changes to the parts of the Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Sincerity when it the encyclopedia arrived in Al-Andalus Al-Majriti also predicted a futuristic process of scientific interchange and the advent of networks for scientific communication. He built a school of Astronomy and Mathematics and marked the beginning of organized scientific research in Al-Andalus. Among his students were Ibn al-Saffar, Abu al-Salt and Al-Tartushi.

Baal Shem Of London

Rabbi Dr. Hayyim Samuel Jacob Falk was a rabbi, Practical Kabbalist and alchemist. He was born in either F"urth in Bavaria or Pidhaytsi in Podolia and lived in Wellclose Square, London until his death. He arrived in London in 1742 after narrowly escaping being burnt at the stake by the authorities in Westphalia who charged him with sorcery. Because of his reputation as a Practical Kabbalist who worked miracles and appeared to have magical powers which involved the use of divine names, he was known by the Jews of London as the "Baal Shem of London". He ran a secret occult group out of his home and had an alchemical laboratory in one of the houses on London Bridge. Many stories were current concerning his extraordinary powers. According to one account, it was Falk's custom to make clandestine visits to Epping Forest in his carriage, where he was reported to have buried quantities of treasure. On one of these occasions a wheel came loose from the vehicle on the Whitechapel Road, but followed the carriage all the way to the forest. When Falk ran short of coal, he was said to have performed a magical feat involving three shirts and a ram's horn. Falk was also able to keep candles burning miraculously, and to transport objects from one place to another. He was before long in the possession of great wealth and took up his residence at a house in Wellclose Square formerly occupied by Judith Levy, Moses Hart's eccentric daughter. Here he was waited on by nobles, aristocrats, and princes, such as the fair Marquise de la Croix, who had been instrumental in saving many Jews from the clutches of the Inquisition. He did various rituals to assist Theodore of Corsica in his efforts to regain his royal inheritance. In France it was said that Falk had given a magical ring of Lapis lazuli (some accounts suggest a talisman) to Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orl'eans which would ensure that he would succeed to the throne. He supposedly passed the ring to his son who in 1830 became the king of France as Louis Philippe. Some claimed that he had saved the Great Synagogue from a fire raging in the neighbourhood by writing four Hebrew letters on the pillars of the door. The most famous tale of Rabbi Falk concerns his connection with the death of Aaron Goldsmid, one of the Baal Shem's executors appointed in his will. The Baal Shem of London was received very equivocally by the Jews themselves, however, although he seems to have been friendly with Rabbi David Tevele Schiff, whom Falk referred to as the "rabbi of London and the entire country". Rabbi Jacob Emden accused him of being a Sabbatean, a supporter of Sabbati Zevi, as he invited Moses David of Podhayce, a known Sabbatean with connections to Jonathan Eibeschutz, to his home. He died on April 17, 1782 and was buried in the cemetery at Globe Road, Mile End. Falk kept a diary containing records of dreams and the Kabbalistic names of angels. This can be found in the library of the United Synagogue in London.

Ibn Al Nadim

Abu'l-Faraj Muhammad bin Is'haq al-Nadim, whose father was known as al-Warraq (died September 17, 995 or 998) was a Persian Shi'ite Muslim scholar and bibliographer. Some scholars regard him as a Persian but this is not certain. He is famous as the author of the Kitab al-Fihrist. It is in his own words "an Index of the books of all nations, Arabs and foreigners alike, which are extant in the Arabic language and script, on every branch of knowledge; comprising information as to their compilers and the classes of their authors, together with the genealogies of those persons, the dates of their birth, the length of their lives, the times of their death, the places to which they belonged, their merits and their faults, since the beginning or every science that has been invented down to the present epoch : namely, the year 377 of the Hijra.". His choice of the rather rare Persian word pehrest (fehrest/ fehres/ fahrasat) for the title of a handbook on Arabic literature is noteworthy in this regard.
