Abstract
The two centuries following the rise of the Abbasid caliphate in 750 witnessed a wave of translations from Greek into Syriac and Arabic. The translation and reception of Aristotle's "Rhetoric" is a prime example for the resulting transformation of antique learning in the Islamic world and beyond. On the basis of a close textual analysis of the "Rhetoric", this study develops elements of a comparative "translation grammar" of Greek-Arabic translations. Contextualizing the analysis with an account of the textual history and the Syriac and Arabic philosophical traditions.
