Graeco-Arabic translation movement

8th–10th century translation efforts

The Graeco-Arabic translation movement was a large, well-funded, and sustained effort responsible for translating a significant volume of secular Greek texts into Arabic. The translation movement took place in Baghdad from the mid-eighth century to the late tenth century. During the movement, texts from many other languages such as Pahlavi, Sanskrit, and Syriac were also translated into Arabic.
