Après leurs / expéditions en Europe, les Arabes commencèrent à poursuivre plus sérieusement l'étudede / de cette science.

Il professa à l'Université / de Séville dans la seconde moitié du 8e siècle" "The need for meat is a real need for the human body, to replace energy consumed and, by heredity, is not fair for one unilateral regime. But meat is expensive, and therefore [no] housewife should consistently fail [to include in her cabinet] a jar of Liebig Meat Extract which contains, [in] concentrated form, the most valuable elements of first choice beef Geber with his master Giafar el Ssâdik (8th century). Already the most ancient peoples have dealt with chemistry, although [in] a primitive way. The purpose of the chemical industry at that time was first finding the formula for making gold or the philosopher's stone which, according [to] the belief at the time, would have [fulfilled] all desires. After their expeditions in Europe, the Arabs began to pursue more seriously study of this cience. Geber, whose real name Abu ibn Adbahhâh Dchabir Hajjân, [was a] student [of] Giafar el Ssâdik, the most famous chemist of the time, and he [already] had [a] very extensive knowledge of chemistry. He taught at the University [of] Seville in the second half of 8th century." |
