Abstract

Migration of men has always been accompanied by a migration of knowledge, whether scientific or related to the tradition to which they belong. This article aims to highlight the transition of Greek sophia from the West to Persia and from Baghdad to the East. A movement of thought analyzed by Muslims experts and translators during the Middle Age. The process of translation and transmission of knowledge will accomplish an opposite periplus during the Napoleonic era, going back from the West to the Arab world. This process will give birth to the nahḍa phase, which is the cultural and literary awakening that will bring the Islamic countries living under the European colonization to meet and interweave again with the western knowledge.
