About This Book:

"Luqman Nagy's meticulously researched book provides readers with a compelling introduction to the profound historical and intellectual journey that began at Bayt al-Hikmah during Baghdad's thriving ninth-century Abbasid era." This astonishing translation activity, a symbol of cross-cultural collaboration, lasted centuries and ultimately reached the coasts of Spain. Nagy reveals the incredible efforts of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish intellectuals who collaborated to tackle the daunting challenge of translating a massive store of Greek and Islamic scientific knowledge from Arabic into Latin.
