Abstract
From the eighth to the tenth centuries, the Arabs were the repositories of the philosophical and scientific heritage of Greece. Aristotle, Plato and their commentators, Ptolemy, Archimedes and Diophantus, Hippocrates and Galen were translated into Arabic. And it was on this classical foundation that Arab philosophy and science (astronomy, medicine and mathematics) were built up. From the twelfth century on, Arabic texts –original works as well as translations of classical material- were retranslated into Latin, Hebrew and Castilian, a process which took place mainly in Spain. In this way Europe both discovered the works of the philosophers and scholars of the Arabo-Islamic world and rediscovered some of their classical sources.
