Golden Age of the House of Wisdom

813 CE · Bağdat · cultural

During the Abbasid Caliphate, particularly in the early 9th century (around 813), Baghdad became a center of scientific and translation activity.

In this period, traditionally associated with the 'House of Wisdom' (Bayt al-Hikma), works in Greek, Persian, and other languages were translated into Arabic; important works were produced in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy. This phase is regarded as one of the brilliant periods of intellectual development in the Islamic world.
