Abstract
Over the decades, an enormous amount of scholarly work has been devoted to the historical
and literary context of the Greek-Arabic translations. Without it, we would not
be able to answer vital questions about dating and translators. Analysing the few remaining
primary sources we have, it sometimes even allows us to reconstruct details
such as addressees and the purpose of particular translations. Textual comparison plays
a prominent role in contextualisation, often leading to judgements about a translation's
quality and "faithfulness" or "equivalence" to a source text. But there is another aspect
of a translation's context that we need to know about before we can assess a particular
text: theories or concepts of translation prevalent during the Greek-Arabic translation
movement.
