A wooden elephant that tells the time, a twin-cylinder water pump, and a servant figure that pours water for ablution — all described with drawings and precise measurements, so that modern engineers can rebuild them. The thirty-fourth book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of al-Jazari: Artuqid palace engineer and author of the Book of Ingenious Devices. “And calculate [precisely] the links.”
“[Commanding him], Make full coats of mail and calculate [precisely] the links, and work [all of you] righteousness. Indeed I, of what you do, am Seeing.”
