Question

He’s not Aristotle, but legends indicated this man’s tomb was suspended by two magnetic lodestones. Embrico of Mainz argued that this man was an epileptic slave to a governor. The Tultusceptru claims this man was originally named Ozim and failed to carry out a mission given by Osius. This man was reportedly worshiped alongside Apollo and Termagant. The Dark Ages are analyzed in a Henri Pirenne book titled for this (15[1])man “and (*) Charlemagne.” (10[4])This man’s name likely gave rise to the term Baphomet for a demon supposedly worshipped by the Knights Templar. Ibn Ishaq wrote an early biography of this man, who was regarded as a prophet by Saracens. For 10 points each, name this chief prophet of Islam. ■END■
