Abstract:

The current volume represents a revival of Arabic translation and terminology
studies. These disciplines have been dominated by Western scholarship in
recent decades, but in truth their historical tradition as a whole owes a
great debt to Arabic scholarship. The first systematic translation activity
ever organized was under the Abbasids in Baghdad in the 9th Century CE, and
Arabic domination continued for several centuries before the tide turned. In
this collection, the importance of the ongoing translation and terminology
movement in the Arab world is revealed through the works of some of the most
distinguished scholars, who investigate a wide range of relevant topics from
the making of the first ever Arabic monolingual dictionary to modern-day
localization into Arabic. Arabic terminology standardization as well as legal,
medical, Sufi and Quranic terms — issues with both cultural and economic
ramifications for the Arab world — are thoroughly examined, completing the
solid framework of this rich tradition that still has a lot to offer.
