Zur Bedeutung dieser Arbeit: „The algebra of ABO KAMIL SHUJA' (c. 900) [..] is now available in a German translation made by Dr. JOSEF WEINBERG from the Hebrew version of MORDECAI FINZI (c. I470). ABO KAMIL's work is of great importance for the history of algebra and deserves further investigation. ABO KAMIL SHUJA had deeply influenced LEONARDO FIBONACCI (c. I2oo) and through him mediaeval mathematics in general. He is the first known to us to relate Oriental algebra to Greek geometry, by referring to EUCLID, II 5-6, as furnishing the demonstration for the solution of the quadratic equations.“ (Geschichte der Elementar-Mathematik by Johannes TropfkeArquivado em 14 de julho de 2018, no Wayback Machine.)
