Wilson's Theorem

According to Wikipedia:

This theorem was stated by Ibn al-Haytham (c. 1000 AD) and in the 18th century, by John Wilson. Edward Waring announced the theorem in 1770, although neither he nor his student Wilson could prove it. Lagrange gave the first proof in 1771. There is evidence that Leibniz was also aware of the result a century earlier, but he never published it.
