The Graeco-Arabic Translation Movement was brought upon by the philosophies of the Golden Age of Islam under the Abbasid dynasty. Beginning in the second half of the eighth century with the accession of the Abbasid caliphate, the movement primarily was spurred on by the House of Wisdom in Baghdad and would last for over two hundred years. Among advancements in technology and mathematics, the Translation Movement also expanded philosophical ideas and beliefs through translations of ancient Greek and Syriac texts.[1] The movement paved way for a great deal of unique research by the Islamicate, who used the translated texts as a platform for new scientific developments in various fields like mathematics, medicine, philosophy, and physics.
