** The idea of the magic square was transmitted to the Arabs from the Chinese, probably through India, in the eighth century and is discussed by '''[[w:Thābit ibn Qurra|Thabit ibn Qurra]]''' (known for his formula for [[w:amicable numbers|amicable numbers]]) in the early ninth. A list of squares of all orders from 3 to 9 are displayed in the Encyclopaedia, ([[w:List of rasa'il in the Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity|the Rasa`il]]), compiled about 990 by a group of Arabic scholars known as the "[[w:Brethren of Purity|brethren of purity]]" (the Ikhwan al- safa), (see [11], Vol. 1, pp. 660f.). Despite all this, no general constructive methods appeared until slightly later. In 1225, [[w:Ahmed al-Buni|Ahmed al-Buni]] showed how to construct magic squares using a simple bordering technique, but he may not have discovered the method himself. Biggs ([3], p.120), referring to a paper by Camman ([5] ), suggests that the methods explained by [[w:Manuel Moschopoulos|Moschopoulos]] may have been of Persian origin and be linked to those expounded by al-Buni. Camman indeed claims that the two methods given by Moschopoulos for constructing odd magic squares were known to the Persians, citing an anonymous Persian manuscript (Garrett Collection no. 1057, Princeton University). Even so, this document contains examples and not explicit methods.
** It appears that magic squares were introduced to Europe through Spain. Indeed, [[w:Abraham ibn Ezra|Abraham ben Meir ibn Ezra]] (c. 1090-1167), an Hispano-Jewish philosopher and astrologer, translated many Arabic works into Hebrew and had a deep interest in magic squares and numerology in general. He travelled widely throughout Italy and beyond, and may have been the one of the people responsible for the introduction of magic squares into Europe.
