  Abstract

The main aim this paper is to investigate the “Bayt al-Hikma” (“The House of Wisdom”), an important medieval centre for translation and science. In this paper, the author attempts to define the establishment, tasks and development of this institution and its place in medieval civilization. In addition, considerable attention is given to the scientific activity of the Central Asian scholars in Baghdad, who migrated there when caliph al-Ma’mun shifted his court from Marw to Baghdad in 819 CE. The paper describes “Bayt al-Hikma” as an important institution for translation and science and describes some of the Central Asian scholars’ activities in Baghdad. Despite its brevity, this short overview shows that these scholars had an important influence on the development of medieval sciences.
