#Baghdad

• Abbasids — Members of the second great dynasty of caliphs who ruled the Islamic Caliphate (750–1258), centered in Baghdad. In the history of medicine, the Abbasid era represents the 'Golden Age' of Islamic medical sciences, characterized by the massive translation movement of Greek texts (Galen, Hippocrates), the founding of the first modern public hospitals (Bimaristan), the development of pharmacy as an independent discipline, and the emergence of illustrious medical encyclopedists such as Avicenna and Rhazes.
• Abu Nuwas — One of the greatest Arabic poets of the classical Abbasid era, renowned for his iconoclastic wit, stylistic refinement, and masterclass definition of Bacchic poetry (khamriyyat). His work, characterized by shocking candor and a subtle irony towards the social and religious conventions of the era, marked a definitive departure from the rigidity of pre-Islamic Bedouin poetry, celebrating urban freedom, ephemeral pleasures, and the hedonistic aesthetics of medieval Baghdad.
• Abul Vefa — The Latinized name of Abu al-Wafa al-Buzjani (Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Ismail ibn al-Abbas al-Buzjani), a legendary Persian mathematician and astronomer who flourished in Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age. He is considered one of the fathers of modern trigonometry, having introduced the secant and cosecant functions, perfected sine and tangent tables, and developed foundational trigonometric identities still used today in complex astronomical and geometric calculations.
