Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Book of Ingenious Devices (Arabic: Kitab al-Hiyal) was a large illustrated work on mechanical devices, including automata, published in 850 by the three Persian brothers known as the Banu Musa (Ahmad, Muhammad and Hasan bin Musa ibn Shakir) working at the House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Hikma) in Baghdad, Iraq, under the Abbasid Caliphate. The book described about one hundred devices and how to use them.The book was commissioned by the Abassid Caliph of Baghdad, Abu Jafar al-Ma''mun ibn Harun (786-833), who instructed the Banu Musa to acquire all of the Hellenistic texts that had been preserved by monasteries and by scholars during the decline and fall of Roman civilization. The Ban M s brothers invented a number of automata (automatic machines) and mechanical devices, and they described a hundred such devices in their Book of Ingenious Devices.
