Ibn Nafis (-al)
Ala-al-Din Abu al-Hasan Ali Ibn Abi al-Hazm al-Qarshi al-Damashqi al-Misri was born in 607 A.H. of Damascus. He was educated at the Medical College-cum-Hospital founded by Nur al-Din Zangi. In medicine his teacher was Muhazzab al-Din Abd al-Rahim. Apart from medicine, Ibn al-Nafis learnt jurisprudence, literature and theology. He thus became a renowned expert on Shafi'i School of Jurisprudence as well as a reputed physician.
After acquiring his expertise in medicine and jurisprudence, he moved to Cairo where he was appointed as the Principal at the famous Nasri Hospital. Here he imparted training to a large number of medical specialists, including Ibn al-Quff al-Masihi, the famous surgeon. He also served at the Mansuriya School at Cairo. When he died in 678 A. H. he donated his house, library and clinic to the Mansuriya Hospital.
His major contribution lies in medicine. His approach comprised writing detailed commentaries on early works, critically evaluating them and adding his own original contribution. His major original contribution of great significance was his discovery of the blood's circulatory system, which was re-discovered by modern science after a lapse of three centuries. He was the first to correctly describe the constitution of the lungs and gave a description of the bronchi and the interaction between the human body's vessels for air and blood. Also, he elaborated the function of the coronary arteries as feeding the cardiac muscle.

    al-Razi
    Iranian Muslim Philosopher
    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.

    ISLAM AND KNOWLEDGE
    "He has taught you that which [heretofore] you knew not"
    (Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 2:239) Islam is a religion based upon knowledge, for it is ultimately knowledge of the Oneness of God, combined with faith and total commitment to Him, that saves man. The text of the Qur¹an is replete with verses inviting man to use his intellect, to ponder, to think and to know, for the goal of human life is to discover the Truth, which is none other than worshipping God in His Oneness. The Hadith literature is also full of references to the importance of knowledge. Such sayings of the Prophet as "Seek knowledge even in China", "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave," and, ³Verily the men of knowledge are the inheritors of the prophets," have echoed throughout the history of Islam and inspired Muslims to seek knowledge wherever it might be found. During most of its history, Islamic civilization has been witness to a veritable celebration of knowledge. That is why every traditional Islamic city possessed public and private libraries and some cities like Cordoba and Baghdad boasted of libraries, with over 400,000 books. Such cities also had bookstores, some of which sold large numbers of titles. That is also why the scholar has always been held in the highest esteem in Islamic society. As Islam spread northward into Syria, Egypt, and the Persian empire, it came face to face with the sciences of antiquity whose heritage had been preserved in centers which now became a part of the Islamic world. Alexandria had been a major center of sciences and learning for centuries. The Greek learning cultivated in Alexandria was opposed by the Byzantines who had burned its library long before the advent of Islam. The tradition of Alexandrian learning did not die, however. It was transferred to Antioch and from there farther east to such cities as Edessa by eastern Christians who stood in sharp opposition to Byzantium and wished to have their own independent centers of learning.

    ISLAMIC MEDICINE
    (Edited by Shahid Athar , M. D.)
    Islamic Philosophy Of Medicine
    Amanullah Khan, M.D., Ph.D.
    "Nor walk on the earth with insolence; for thou canst nor rend the earth asunder, nor reach the mountains in height." XVII:37
    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.
    "Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another;"
    "That man can have nothing but what he strives for;"
    "That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight;"
    "Then will he be rewarded with a reward complete"LIII:38-41
    Thus, the principles laid down by Islam attempted to purge the society of tribal traditions and ills and helped create a healthy society.
    MUSLIM QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE AND HARMONY AMONG RELIGIONS:
    PERIOD OF TRANSLATION AND AMALGMATION:
    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.

    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:

    Euclid (alt: Euklid, Eucleides) : 365 - 300 BC Euclid's The Optics is the earliest surviving work on geometrical optics, and is generally found in Greek manuscripts along with elementary works on spherical astronomy. There were a number of medieval Latin translations, which became of new importance in the fifteenth century for the theory of linear perspective. This technique is beautifully illustrated in the miniature of a street scene in this elegant manuscript from the library of the Duke of Urbino. It may once have been in the possession of Piero della Francesca, who wrote one of the principal treatises on perspective in painting.

    Early human endeavors into philosophy and the natural sciences have always been attributed to the Greeks. The early contributions of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, and Ptolemy to name a few, set the foundations for mankind's expansion of knowledge. The Greek way of life dominated western civilization for many centuries, and Hellenistic influence spread throughout the Roman Empire. The fall of the Roman Empire in around 500 A.D. marked the decline of Western Culture for approximately 700 years. " Although the East experienced many of the same misfortunes as the West- invasion, economic decline, and social upheaval- the consequences were less severe." (Lindberg 181) The Byzantine Empire of the East was far more stable than its Western counterpart, and this stability is seen in the continuity of their schools, which resulted in the survival of classical studies. The Empire of Alexander the Great had an immense impact on the propagation of Greek thinking throughout the East. Alexander established numerous schools within his empire, the largest in Alexandria, Egypt. Although the East's greatest contribution to Western culture was their preservation of Greek knowledge through translation, there were also a handful of Islamic scholars who made impressive advances to early science. The birth of Mohammed in the 6 th Century marks the beginning of the Muslim religion and the end of Alexander's Empire in Arabia. Before we can explore the scientific contributions of Islam, we must consider all the efforts made in transmitting the body of Greek knowledge into Islam. The assimilation of Greek knowledge began with the acquisition of Greek scholars by the Persian king Khurshaw I. He established a Nestorian university at Nisibus, Syria, and invited the scholars of Athens to settle there in around 531 A.D.

If we are to trace the history of any field of science, we begin with the ancient Mesopotamians and Egyptians, moving to the Greeks and Romans, then to the Arabs, ending up in Western Europe (not to underestimate the civilizations of Asia and South America). One stop in this journey is almost always forgotten: the Syriac contribution! From the 4th century onward, the Greek sciences were translated into Syriac, including philosophy, logic, medicine, mathematics, astronomy and alchemy. When the Arabs desired to transmit the Greek sciences into Arabic during the 8th and 9th centuries, they turned to their Syriac subjects to do the task. In most cases, these Syriac scholars translated the works first into their native language then into Arabic. As a result, many of the Arabic scientific terminology, including the names of plants, are rooted in Syriac. Scientific works and terminology from other cultures, such as Persian and Indian, passed to Arabic via Syriac; a noted example is the name of the chemical element Zirconium (via Syriac

    The History of Translation History
    ATA Chronicle, September, 1996
    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.

    The Melkites The Jacobites The Nestorians The Copts ... TheMaronites 1- Introduction
      Arabic at the time of the Abbasids had become a language of full maturity,unchallenged mistress in the school, the mosque, and in the offices ofthe administration. It prevailed in all parts of the Muslim world, notonly as an ornament of great value for the pen, but also as a generousnurse of thought. The Iranians themselves, who later succeeded in givinglife to their nationalism and in reviving anew a literature in Persianlanguage, were unable to garble the Arabic language as a language of scienceand religion. They also had to keep its strong mark on their own vocabularyand on the alphabet. If Baghdad was an aging city hardly a century afterits founding, it was nonetheless under the first Abassids the symbol ofa new civilization and the home of the shining Arabic language which hadbecome a language of thought and culture. The irruption of foreign nations reached its height during the Abassidcaliphate, with their cultural contributions and their specific gifts tothe social and intellectual life of Arab Islamism. It also provoked a greateffervescence of thought and an intense literary activity which pouredinto the Arabic language and brought about a development of prose. Thevocabulary waxed richer thanks to new terms it borrowed from other cultures;the syntax became suppler, and the style clearer. Literary genres wereeither recovered or created. Ideas, new doctrines and research requiredmore suitable expression.
