The Role of the City of Toledo (Andalusia) in Transforming Islamic Medicine to Europe

Andalusia can be considered as the most important cross road to transport Islamic and Arabic medical sciences to Europe. This unique situation originates from the fact that the city of Toledo was an important center for Islamic and Arabic cultures. Andalusian translators played an important role in transporting this great scientific movement including medicine. Reymond Toledoian, Jerard Kerimoni, Merghes Talitali and Domeng Gonsalo translated valuable works written by Kendy, Ibn Sarabiun, Razi, Zahravi, Avicenna, Ibn Vafed, Ibn Jazar and others from Arabic into Latin. They opened the gates of scientific Latin and Arabic treasures to Latin Europe and paved the way for future generations.
