Hunayn ibn Ishaq
In 825, the Abbasid caliph Al-Ma'mun founded the House of Wisdom (; "Bayt al-Hikma") in Baghdad, modelled after the Academy of Gondishapur. Led by the Christian physician Hunayn ibn Ishaq, and with support by Byzance, all available works from the antique world were translated, including Galen, Hippocrates, Plato, Aristotle, Ptolemy and Archimedes.
