The mechanical workings of Al-Jazari's Elephant Clock.
Some 800 years in the past, in 1206, a brilliant Muslim scholar died: Badī` al-Zamān Abū al-'Izz ibn Ismā`īl ibn al-Razzāz al-Jazarī. He was one of the most important inventors and mechanical engineers in the history of technology. His magnum opus book of mechanics, the famous Al-Jāmi` bayn al-`ilm wa 'l-`amal al-nāfi` fi sinā`at al-hiyal (A Compendium on the Theory and Useful Practice of the Mechanical Arts) was the most significant treatise of the Islamic tradition of mechanical engineering and a ground breaking work in the history of mechanics.
