The book "Composition of Alchemy" is traditionally ascribed to Jabir ibn Hayyan, also known as Geber in Latin, who is considered the "father of Arab chemistry". Translated by Robert of Chester in 1144, this work was foundational to European alchemy and highlighted experimental techniques. Jabir ibn Hayyan is said to be one of the founders of early chemistry or alchemy and wrote many influential works on various processes in chemistry, acids, and laboratory practices.
