Translation movement and scientific ethos

The Abbasid Caliphate stood as a vibrant center of commerce, technology, and learning from the 8th to the 13th centuries. 

At the heart of this Islamic dynasty was the House of Wisdom.

It was an extraordinary institute that drew scholars from across the known world, which made Baghdad an unrivaled center of learning. It also preserved much of the knowledge of the ancient world when Europe was in decline.

Learn more about the House of Wisdom and how it shaped the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
