Mu'ayyad Al-Din Al-Urdi Life story
Al-Urdi was a medieval Syrian astronomer and geometer. Born circa 1200, presumably in the village of ʿUrḍ in the Syrian desert between Palmyra and Resafa, he came to Damascus at some point before 1239, where he worked as an engineer and teacher of geometry, and built instruments for al-Malik al-Mansur of Hims.
