THE SYRIAN CONNECTION:

Syrian scholar and Bishop
Severus Sebokht (575 - 667) said: "I shall now speak of the knowledge of the Hindus...
of their subtle discoveries even more ingenious than those of the Greeks and Babylonians -
of their rational system of mathematics or of their method
of calculation which no word can praise strongly enough.” | Severus Sebokht, was a teacher of the philosophy of Aristotle.
The first Syrian to reference Hindu/Vedic numerals outside of India). | MANUSCRIPT (MS Syriac [Paris], No. 346 | THAT our common numerals are of Hindu origin seems to be a well-established fact, and that Europe received them from the Arabs seems equally certain. | http://www.syriacstudies.com/AFSS/Sy...ived_them.html | www.SherawaliMaa.com |
