# Cordoba

- id: cordoba
- modern: Córdoba, Spain

Capital of Umayyad al-Andalus and the western pole of Arabic science. A Byzantine gift manuscript was studied here by a Jewish vizier, a Greek monk and Muslim physicians in the 950s, and around 1000 the city's astronomers refit Baghdad's star tables to their own meridian.
