Jâbir ibn Hayyân

Contribution à l'histoire des idées scientifiques dans l'Islam

by Paul Kraus

Paul Kraus's landmark two-volume study of the Jabirian corpus, published in Cairo in 1942–43. It argued that the writings attributed to Jabir were produced by a later school with Isma'ili affinities and analysed their theory of the balance, their science of generation and their Greek sources.
