 The work was translated from the Arabic into both Hebrew and Latin, the latter by Gerard of Cremona, who Latinized his name as "Geber".Through that channel it had a wide influence on later European mathematicians and astronomers and helped to promote trigonometry in Europe.Much of the material on spherical trigonometry in Regiomontanus' "On Triangles" (c.1463) was taken directly and without credit from Jābir's work, as noted in the 16th century by Gerolamo Cardano.
