List of Iranian Scientists
As a young man he participated in the founding of Baghdad in 762 by working with a group of astrologers led by Naubakht the Persian to pick an electional horoscope for the founding of the city.
He wrote over twenty works on astrology, which became authoritative in later centuries at first in the Middle East, and then in the West when horoscopic astrology was transmitted back to Europe beginning in the 12th century.
The task of astrologers such as him and Naubakht was to optimize such influences.
Al-fadl ibn Naubakht, (also written Nowbakht), was an 8th century Persian scholar at the court of the Caliph Harun al-Rashid.
He was son of the famous Naubakht, a former Zoroastrian, who had designed Baghdad.
Fadl was appointed by the Caliph as chief librarian of the Khizānat al-Hikmah (The Treasury of Knowledge), which later came to be known as The House of Wisdom.
