House of Wisdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The House of Wisdom was a group of learned Arabic men - including Mohammed ibn Musa al-Khawarizmi, the Bana Musa brothers (Mohammed Jafar ibn Musa, Ahmad ibn Musa and al-Hasan ibn Musa), and Abu Yusuf Yaqub ibn Ishaq al-Sabbah al-Kindi - to whom was entrusted the task of translating Greek manuscripts into Arabic.
