Özet
This article aims to accentuate the critical role played by the Toledo School of Translators during the 12th and 13th centuries and explore its journey from its fundation until its decline within the framework of translation history. This institution was instrumental in the transmission of knowledge from the Islamic world to medieval Europe. By translating a broad spectrum of scientific, philosophical, and literary works from Arabic into Latin, the scholars of the Toledo School significantly influenced the intellectual landscape of Europe, paving the way for the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution. The article delves into the foundation and developmental processes of the Toledo School, highlighting the contributions of key members such as Raymond de Sauvetât and Alfonso X of Castile. It also discusses the broader cultural implications of their work, emphasizing the profound impact these translations had on European thought and culture. In the article, the decline of the Toledo School is attributed to political changes, the rise of new intellectual centers, and the death of key figures. Despite its eventual decline, the Toledo School's legacy endures, having played a crucial role in the history of translation and the development of Western civilization. Through this exploration, the article underscores the lasting significance of the Toledo School of Translators as a beacon of cultural and intellectual exchange.
