The session “Thus Spoke Arabic” at the Sharjah International Book Fair explored how Arab sciences and knowledge made their way to Europe, and their impact on medicine, astronomy, philosophy and mathematics. Dr. Mashhad Al-Allaf outlined three waves of translation spanning the 11th to the 17th centuries: the first began in Andalusia, the second took place in Italy, and the third was associated with diplomatic missions and the spread of printing. He noted that Gerard of Cremona translated around 87 books, and that the works of Avicenna, Averroes and Al-Farabi, together with Arabic literary and philosophical works, influenced European thought.
