Translation Movement

The Translation Movement refers to a historical period, particularly during the 8th to 13th centuries, when scholars in the Islamic world, especially in cities like Baghdad, translated significant works from Greek, Persian, and Indian languages into Arabic. This effort preserved essential knowledge in philosophy, science, medicine, and mathematics, facilitating its later transfer to Europe. By bridging cultures and ideas, the Translation Movement played a crucial role in advancing intellectual thought, laying the groundwork for the European Renaissance and shaping the development of various fields of study that continue to influence our world today.
