Résumé

Abstract: The translation movement from the Umayyad to the Abbasid period marked a significant turning point in Islamic intellectual history, particularly during the reign of Caliph Al-Ma’mun (813–833 CE). Although translation activities expanded considerably under the Abbasids, early Umayyad initiatives also contributed to the development of this movement. This study examines the continuities and changes between the two periods, focusing on political, administrative, and intellectual factors, including caliphal patronage, financial support, manuscripts, and scholarly networks. It also explores the role of the House of Wisdom in transmitting Greek, Persian, Indian, and Syriac knowledge into Arabic. Using a qualitative historical approach and documentary analysis, the study investigates the relationship between Umayyad initiatives and Abbasid contributions to the organization and management of translation.
