Description

Explore the massive intellectual exchange that shaped the medieval world. Greek Thought, Arabic Culture examines the unprecedented translation movement from Greek into Arabic that took place in Baghdad between the eighth and tenth centuries. During the early 'Abbasid dynasty, a vast array of secular Greek texts became accessible to the Near East through this scholarly effort. This book investigates the social, political, and ideological factors that drove these translations in the newly founded capital of Baghdad. It covers a wide range of diverse topics that were previously unavailable throughout the eastern Byzantine Empire, including medicine, physics, botany, alchemy, and astrology. For students of history and scholars of the Arabic Thought and Culture series, this work provides a detailed look at how non-literary and non-historical Greek books were integrated into Arabic society. It offers a deep understanding of the cultural shifts occurring during the 2nd-4th/5th-10th centuries, making it a vital resource for anyone interested in ancient history and the evolution of global knowledge.
