Jabir_ibn_Aflah alIshbili Abu Muhammad jabir ibn aflah Born about 1100 in possibly Seville Died about 1160 jabir ibn aflah is often known by the Latinised form of his name, namely Geber. http://homepages.compuserve.de/thweidenfeller/mathematiker/Jabir_ibn_Aflah.htm
Extractions: Died: about 1160 Jabir ibn Aflah is often known by the Latinised form of his name, namely Geber. Although not he was not in the first rank of Arabic mathematicians, he is important in the development of mathematics since his works were translated into Latin, and so became available to European mathematicians, whereas the work of some of the top rank Arabic mathematicians such as Abu'l-Wafa were not translated into Latin. Very little information is available regarding Jabir ibn Aflah's life. That he came from Seville is known from two sources. Firstly he is described as "al-Ishbili" in manuscripts containing his treatises; this means "from Seville". The other source gives us not only the information that he came from Seville, but also a good estimate for the period in which he lived. The information comes from Maimonides. Moses Maimonides, whose Arabic name was Abu 'Imran Musa ibn Maymun ibn 'Ubayd Allah, was a Jewish philosopher, jurist, and physician who was born in Córdoba in 1135. Among many important works he wrote The Guide of the Perplexed in Arabic in which he writes of:- ... ibn Aflah of Seville, whose son I have met ...

Extractions: '... Jabir was better known in the West through Gerard of Cremona's translation. His name was used as that of an authority who criticized Ptolemy. But more serious was his influence on Western trigonometry... His most important influence was upon Regiomontanus' De triangulis, written in the early 1460s and printed in 1533, which systematized trigonometry for the Latin West. The core of the fourth book of this treatise is taken from Jabir without acknowledgement: the plagiarism was the subject of several pungent remarks by Cardano. Jabir was still quoted in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries - for instance, by Sir Henry Savile and Pedro Nuñez. Copernicus' spherical trigonometry is of the same general type, but we have no reason to believe it was taken straight from the Islah. He called Jabir an "egregious calumniator of Ptolemy"' (DSB).

Culture Of Muslim Spain the orbits of the planets are not circular but ovoid. jabir ibn aflah (12th century) criticized the Ptolemaic system. http://www.lilt.ilstu.edu/bekurtz/culture.htm
Extractions: Culture of Muslim Spain Arab civilization in the peninsula reached its zenith when the political power of the Arabs began to decline. In the 8th century, in the years immediately following the conquest, there were no traces of a cultural level higher than that attained by the Mozarabs who lived among the Arab conquerors. All available evidence points to the fact that in this period popular works of medicine, agriculture, astrology, and geography were translated from Latin into Arabic. Many of these texts must have been derived from the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville and from other Christian writers. In the 9th century, the situation changed abruptly: the Andalusians, who traveled east in order to comply with the injunction to conduct a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetimes, took advantage of their stay in those regions to enhance their knowledge, which they then introduced into their native country. Literature. The highest peak in Islamic literature in Spain was attained during the era of the ta`ifas, when the poet-king al-Mu'tamid established an embryo of an academy of belles lettres, which included the foremost Spanish intellects as well as Sicilians who emigrated from their native land before its conquest by the Normans. Other petty kings in the peninsula endeavoured to compete with al-Mu'tamid but did not succeed in assembling a constellation of writers of comparable stature. Among the outstanding poets of the 12th century in eastern Andalusia (the Andalusian Levant) were Ibn Khafaja of Alcira and his nephew Ibn az-Zaqqaq. To the era of greatest decadence in the 13th century belonged Abu al-Baqa` of Ronda and Ibn Sa'id. In the 14th century three court poets, Ibn al-Jayyab, Ibn al-Khatib, and Ibn Zamraq, preserved their verses by having them inscribed in the Alhambra.
