The period 600 CE to 1450 CE is characterized by the opening of important trade routes between the world known then: Europe, Asia and Africa mainly.

The Golden Age of Islam. It began in the middle of the eighth century by the rise of the Abbasid Caliphate and the transfer of the capital from Damascus to Baghdad. The Abbasids had been influenced by Koranic commandments and hymns, such as “The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr,” stressing the value of knowledge. During this period, the Islamic world became an intellectual center for science, philosophy, medicine and education, as the Abbasids embraced the cause of knowledge and created the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. There, Muslim and non-Muslim scholars struggled to gather all the knowledge of the world and translate it into Arabic. Several classical works of antiquity, which would otherwise have been lost, were translated into Arabic and Persian, and later translated into Turkish, Hebrew, and Latin.
