The translation movement ( Arabic: حركة الترجمة ) is a generalized name for the activity of translators of ancient (primarily ancient Greek ) works into Arabic , which unfolded in the Baghdad " house of wisdom " in the 820s. Through translations, the reception of ancient knowledge in the Islamic world took place .

Abu Daud cites a legend about a dream that the Caliph al-Mamun once had [ 1 ] : Aristotle himself appeared to him and opened the ruler's eyes to the fact that his works did not contradict Islam in any way . Allegedly, after this dream, al-Mamun ordered all the works of the ancient thinker to be translated into Arabic [ 2 ] .

The translators were mainly Christians of various denominations who had a good command of the Syriac language [ 3 ] (such as Hunayn ibn Ishaq ). The work of the translators was generously paid by the Abbasids . Since many of the ancient Greek classics had already been translated into Syriac by that time, texts were often translated into Arabic from Syriac.

Among the Baghdad Aristotelians were not only Muslims, but also Christians, Zoroastrians and Jews. The translation movement irritated the Islamic orthodox, but it was patronized by high-ranking Arabized Persians. They considered Persia to be the seat of all knowledge that had been “stolen” from the Magi by the Greeks when Persia was conquered by Iskander . They interpreted the work of the translators as a return of what had been lost by their ancestors [ 2 ] [ 4 ] .

Of all the heritage of classical antiquity, the Arabs were most interested in mathematics and medicine , astrology and astronomy , Euclid and Ptolemy , that is, applied knowledge. Literary works, including the Iliad and the Odyssey , were practically not translated. Plato's dialogues were known only from condensed retellings.

The translation movement became the key to all further intellectual development of the Arab Caliphate . The first libraries in the Islamic world were created to store translated works . Thanks to the work of translators, Arabic scientific terminology was formed. The acquired knowledge (primarily medical) was developed and enriched by scientists living in various corners of the Arab world.

After the fall of Toledo in 1085, a second translation movement began in Castile : the works of ancient authors were intensively translated from persian and Arabic into Latin , often through Jewish intermediaries. These translations served as the intellectual fuel for the Renaissance in Europe. The originals of some ancient works are still known only in translations from Persian and Arabic.
