The Abbassids spent a lot to create the Universities and Libraries of Baghdad where scholars brought writings from all across the Caliphate in different languages and had them translated meticulously into Arabic. Other scholars could then come to the school who spoke Arabic and read these texts, copy them, and bring them home anywhere in the Empire. Eventually, when Spain began to be reconquered by the Christians, Toledo housed a library of the same type where Jews and Mozarabes (Arab-cultured Christians) translated the Arabic translations into Latin, preserving the Ancient Greek and Roman knowledge.
