21. The Arabians and Latin Speaking Nations
1 [Ghebert-ibn-Moussa-Djaffa-al-Sufi, or Jabir ibn Hayyan, Abu Musa (born c. 721, Tus, Iran; died c. 815, Kufah, Iraq), alchemist known as the “father of Arab chemistry.” Shortly after Jabir was born, his father was beheaded for the part he played in a plot by the Abbasids to depose the Umayyad dynasty. Jabir was sent to Arabia, where he became a member of the Shi’ite sect. Apparently, he studied most branches of learning, including medicine. After the Abbasids defeated the Umayyads, Jabir became a court physician to the Abbasid caliph Harun ar-Rashid. Jabir was a close friend of the sixth Shi’ite imam, Ja’far ibn Muhammad, whom he gave credit for many of his scientific ideas. More than 2,000 works are attributed to Jabir. The Muslim Isma’iliyah sect published a large body of alchemical and mystical works under his name. In the fourteenth century a Spanish alchemist placed the name Geber (the Latinized form of Jabir) on his own manuscripts, possibly to attribute them to Jabir and thus gain greater authority.]
2 [Alembic, an apparatus used in distillation.]
3 [Naphtha, any of various volatile, highly flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixtures used chiefly as solvents and diluents and as raw materials for conversion to gasoline.
