AN EXCERPT
""""From the eighth to the tenth century A. D., Greek scientific and philosophical works were translated wholesale into Arabic. This activity resulted in the incorporation and reorganization of the classical heritage in the new civilization which, using Arabic, spread with Islam.

The object of project Glossarium Graeco-Arabicum is to make readily available to scholars the direct information which the Graeco-Arabic translations contain for several areas of research. These include:

• the vocabulary and syntax of Classical and Middle Arabic;
• the development of a scientific and technical vocabulary in Arabic;
• the vocabulary of Classical and Middle Greek;
• the chronology and nature of the translation movement into Arabic; and
• the establishment of the texts of Greek works and their Arabic translations.""""
