CEVAP:

Christian Arabs (about 800’s A.D.) had translated the works of Plato and Aristotle into Arabic. Later in the history of thought, specifically, in the 12th century, Arabic-speaking Jews translated Greek and Arabic works of science and philosophy from Arabic into Latin. The Aristotelian literature, i.e., a variety of Aristotle’s major works had become known in Europe fthrough the translations from Greek into Arabic (though translations were soon made direct into Latin from Greek); and had been accompanied by translations of Muslim philosophers’ works in Spain (Al-Andalus). Abu Nasr Muhammad al-Farabi, Abu ‘Ali Husayn Ibn Abdullah Ibn Sina and Abu’l-Walid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rushd (of Cordoba) were well known in the universities of medieval Europe under the Latin forms of their names, namely, Alfarabi/Alfaribius, Avicenna and Averroës.
