Description
He Collects, Scrutinizes and evaluates almost all the known information precisely quoted from authors preceding to him from the ancient Greeks to Contemporaries. Furthermore he verifies the known facts by his personal incisive observations.
His interpretations are based on objective, critical and integrated thinking. Thus he stands out as a modern Scientist one thought living thousand years ago.
Contents of the Kitab Al-Jamahir fi Marifat Al-Jawahir indicate that Al-Biruni Combines in himself a scientist of widest interest and Comprehensive Knowledge. Probably Seyyed Hossein Nasr 1964 in his book An Introduction to Islamic Cosmological Doctrines referred for the first time in recent years to his understanding of organic evolution in the English Language. This has initiated interest in further Studies of Al-Biruni`s Contribution to Biological Sciences.
Kitab Al-Jamahir fi Marifat Al-Jawahir is not simply a scientific, descriptive and a Literary book on Pearls and Precious stones. It is for more than this. It covers a range of subjects from Geology to Cosmology, Including Biology, Human Psychology, Sociology and Medicine.
