Awake Goy The translations from Greek to Arabic were not done by Muslims.
the translations from greek to arabic were not done by muslims
Even great fans of Greece like Avicennas or Averrois did not know Old Greek, they read the texts from translations into Arabic that had been edited by Armenian Christians like Hunain ibn-Ishaq, known as the “Prince of Translations”.
Ancient Greece represented a world foreign to Islam. From the knowledge of the ancient Greeks, only everything that did not threaten religion was passed on to Arabic.
Greek philosophy, literature and tragedy were never accepted by the Muslim culture.
Aristotle’s influence was limited to the fields of logic and natural sciences.
Neither Metaphysics nor Politics was ever translated into Arabic, Islam was never “Greeked”.
The Christianized Roman state of the Greek Nation (Heisenberg’s definition of Romania) received knowledge as its heritage and extensively sought it out as it supplemented the texts already at its disposal.
The former mainly used it scientifically and politically, and then in his nadir with the escape of the most prominent of scientists and rationalists (p. x Vissario and his marvelous library) transferred it to a great extent to the West.
For the reason of safe and for the “stinkers” who need sources to be convinced the Arabs left only about 1500 manuscripts mainly Mathematics and Astronomy and the Byzantines about .. 7500 mostly Ancient Greek Secretariat (c. .. Kontoyorgis)!
Renaissance has also begun in Northern Italy (Venice, Genoa, etc. α. ) where the Byzantine Scholars gathered. Erasmos b x. learned Greek (and recorded the Ancient accent) in Venice from the great Scholar Theodoros Laskaris (Cath. .. Babinian).
The Arabs never crossed the Pyrenees (they lost at the battle of Poutier in 732 m. .. from Carol Martello) and they stayed in Spain. Why then didn’t the Renaissance start in Spain???? Because simply the smelting of the Greek spirit to the West is due to the relocation of the Byzantine World (and to Byzantine in general) to the cities of the North. Italy, during the period of its decline.
