Graeco-Arabic translation movement

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. Despite this, it is primarily associated with Greek translation because it was predominantly focused on the works of Hellenistic scholars.
