Toledo School of Translators

The Toledo School of Translators was a vibrant community in medieval Spain, around the 12th to 13th centuries, dedicated to translating important works from Arabic, Latin, and Greek into Latin and later into vernacular languages. This effort helped transmit knowledge in areas like science, philosophy, and medicine, which had been preserved and expanded by scholars in the Islamic world. Located in Toledo, a multicultural city, the school played a key role in bridging cultures and fostering intellectual exchange, significantly influencing medieval European thought and the Renaissance.
