Alhazen meaning

This was the part of his work on which Bacon most prided himself, and in it, we may add, he seems to owe most to the Arab writers Kindi and Alhazen.

Vitello's work is to a very great extent based upon Alhazen and some of the earlier writers, and was first published in 53 5.

Alhazen, quoted by Purchas in his quaint notice of Timur and referred to by Sir John Malcolm, can hardly be accepted as a serious authority.
