Extractions: By my count, nine useful books about translation history, specialized works aside, have been published over the last thirty years. It must say something about where this field is going that six of them have come out during the last seven years (and four since 1992). The latest such work, Translators through History , edited and directed by Jean Delisle and Judith Woodsworth, appears under the very highest auspices, being co-published by John Benjamins and Unesco. The combined effort of fifty scholars from twenty different nations, this volume has been five years in the making and is now published simultaneously in French and English with assistance from several Canadian sponsors and the F.I.T. The editors have set out to create "a selective and thematic overview" rather than "an exhaustive study of the history of translation,...without compromising ...standards of scholarship...they have sought to make the book readable and accessible to as wide an audience as possible." The volume is divided into nine chapters, each covering one of the roles played by translators over the ages: inventors of alphabets, developers of national languages, creators of national literatures, disseminators of knowledge, accessories to power, religious proselytizers, transmitters of cultural values, authors of dictionaries, and interpreters as the middlemen of history.

Extractions: Ibn al-Nafis (d. 1288) in full 'AL A ' AD-DIN AB U AL-'AL A ' 'ALI IBN ABI AL- H ARAM AL-QURAYSHI AD-DIMASHQI IBN AN-NAFIS, Arab physician who first described the pulmonary circulation of the blood. In finding that the wall between the right and left ventricles of the heart is solid and without pores, he disputed Galen's view that the blood passes directly from the right to the left side of the heart. Ibn an-Nafis correctly stated that the blood must pass from the right ventricle to the left ventricle by way of the lungs. But the significance of his statement remained unheeded, and, in fact, was probably unknown by physicians in western countries. It was only in the 20th century that his work was brought to light. Ibn an-Nafis studied in Damascus under the physician ad-Dakhw a r and went to Egypt to take charge of the N as iri Hospital in Cairo. He wrote treatises on eye diseases and diet and commentaries on medical writings of Hippocrates, Avicenna, and H unayn ibn Is ha q.

Extractions: Abu Bakr Mohammad Ibn Zakariya al-Razi (864-930 A.D.) was born at Ray, Iran. Initially, he was interested in music but later on he learned medicine, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and philosophy from a student of Hunayn Ibn Ishaq, who was well versed in the ancient Greek, Persian and Indian systems of medicine and other subjects. He also studied under Ali Ibn Rabban. The practical experience gained at the well-known Muqtadari Hospital helped him in his chosen profession of medicine. At an early age he gained eminence as an expert in medicine and alchemy, so that patients and students flocked to him from distant parts of Asia. He was first placed in-charge of the first Royal Hospital at Ray, from where he soon moved to a similar position in Baghdad where he remained the head of its famous Muqtadari Hospital for along time. He moved from time to time to various cities, specially between Ray and Baghdad, but finally returned to Ray, where he died around 930 A.D. His name is commemorated in the Razi Institute near Tehran. Razi was a Hakim, an alchemist and a philosopher. In medicine, his contribution was so significant that it can only be compared to that of Ibn Sina. Some of his works in medicine e.g.

A number of Greek and Roman references from about 200 BCE cite the usefulness of curved glass lenses in starting fires. From Dr. Zahoor's site The Islamic Empire, through its massive work of translating Greek and Roman texts into Arabic, learned about the manufacture of glass lenses. Islamic scientist Ibn Sahl (984) developed the first accurate theory of refraction of light . He gave Islamic science the understanding needed to develop all the optical tools and theories later developed in 17th century Europe. 2. Abu Ali Hasan Ibn al-Haitham (965 - 1040 C.E.) was known in Europe as Alhazen. He studied the human eye and describe how we see. His Book of Optics recognized that sight is visual images entering the eye, made perceptible by adequate light.

Extractions: - LA MEDICINA ÁRABE: UNA INTRODUCCIÓN - La medicina árabe fue un nexo de unión entre la sabiduría del mundo clásico y la medicina del Renacimiento. Los antiguos textos clásicos, perdidos para los médicos occidentales, eran conocidos y fueron transmitidos por los árabes. Hunayn ibn Ishaq , médico y traductor, fue uno de estos médicos, particularmente célebre por sus traducciones de Galeno. El uso del yeso en el siglo X fue un avance significativo. Con la adicción de agua a un polvo de sulfato cálcico deshidratado se producía un material sólido. Se atribuye a Rhazés (850-923 d.C.), médico persa, la utilización del yeso por primera vez en medicina, en su tratado médico " Hawi ". Otro persa, Abu Mansur Muwaffak describió la colocación de yesos para fracturas y otras lesiones óseas de los miembros. Entre los más importantes cirujanos árabes de la época se encuentra Abulcasis Avicena (980-1073 d.C.) fue uno de los más prestigiosos médicos árabes. Escribió el " Canon de la Medicina"

Extractions: 830 A.D. There were three prominent mathematicians alive in the year 830 AD. Hunayn ibn Ishaq al'Ibadi, Christian who translated several Greek works into Arabic, was twenty-two years old. Abu'l-Hasan Thabit ibn Qurra, a mathematician from Harran who studied astronomy and worked with the Pythagorean Theorem, was born in 826 AD. The most famous of the three mathematicians was Abu Abd-Allah ibn Musa al'Khwarizmi, who was born in Baghdad in 790 AD and died at the age of fifty. It was in this year that al'Khwarizmi wrote his famous work on algebra, Hisab al-jabr w'al-muqabala. In this work, al'Khwarizmi solves and classifies the solutions of linear and quadratic equations. al'Khwarizmi only deals with positive coefficients in this treatise, and does not use any algebraic symbols. The term algebra comes from the arabic word al-jabr in the title of this treatise. Later, al'Khwarizmi wrote about hindu-arabic numerals, but the original translation has been lost. In the Latin version of this work, the author's name is translated to Algoritmi and it is from this that the word algorithm was derived. Author : Tim Lucas References:

http://islam-usa.com/im13.html

Extractions: The belief is a very strong component of our religion. Islam itself means submission to the will of Allah. the religion places tremendous responsibility on the individual. It is the individual himself or herself that is answerable for all his or her deed and no one else will help on the day of judgement. Thus, the principles laid down by Islam attempted to purge the society of tribal traditions and ills and helped create a healthy society. Greek medical works, especially those of Galen were translated during the early 9th century by a prolific translator Humayn ibn Ishaq and his disciples in Bagdad, which became one of the great learning centers of that period. He translated voluminous materials and many of these manuscripts can still be found in the libraries of Constantinople. He also wrote manuals and textbooks, for students, such as "Question on Medicine" (which was in the question and answer form), "Ten treatises on the Eye" (the first text book of ophthalmology ) and numerous other similar works. Humayan demonstrated that he was an excellent editor because his writings were very succinct, and translated from at least three different manuscripts of a book so as to maintain and preserve the original thought. Compendiums of medical knowledge were compiled discussing various diseases systematically. This provides evidence of the understanding of medicine even in those early days.

Extractions: By the tenth century, the intellectual superiority of the Arabs (Muslims) was recognized in Europe. The first Christian to take up the torch of learning was Pope Sylvester II (Gerbert, d. 1003 AD). He introduced the Arab astronomy and mathematics, and Arabic numerals in place of the clumsy Roman ones. He was followed by many, especially Constantinus Africanus in the eleventh century, and Bishop Raymond (Raimundo) in the twelfth century. As early as eleventh century Toledo became a center for the transmission of Arabic (Islamic) culture and science to Europe. A number of translators flourished there. Among the scholars, who flocked to it from all over Europe, were Gerard of Cremona (1117- 1187) and John of Seville. Other famous translators were Adelard of Bath, Robert of Chester, Michael Scot, Stephenson of Saragossa, William of Lunis and Philip of Tripoli. The early translations were primarily into Latin and some into Hebrew. Subsequent translations were done from Latin or Hebrew into vernacular languages of Europe. Many translators at Toledo had neither command over the Arabic language nor sufficient knowledge of the subject matter.

http://cyberistan.org/islamic/Introl1.html

Extractions: Western writers have often used the word Arabs or Muhammadans for Muslims and Arabic civilization for Islamic Civilization. In other instances, the words Saracen(ic) and Moor(ish) are also used for Muslims (Arabs and non-Arabs) from various parts of Europe, Africa, Arabia and Asia. According to a tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) anyone whose primary language is Arabic is an Arab despite his ethnic origin, place of birth, or national origin. Arabic was the medium of communication throughout the Muslim world until a couple of centuries ago, regardless of the type of activity whether religious, social or scientific. During 800-1500 C.E. essentially all scientific works were written in Arabic. It is only after colonization of Muslim lands that this practice became less prevalent and in many instances was eliminated.
