'Book of Tricks') is a large illustrated work on mechanical devices, including automata, published in 850 by the three brothers of Persian[1] descent, the Banū Mūsā brothers (Ahmad, Muhammad and Hasan ibn Musa ibn Shakir) working at the House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Hikma) in Baghdad, Iraq, under the Abbasid Caliphate.[2] The book described about one hundred devices and how to use them.[3]
