Source A: Historical Overview
The House of Wisdom in Baghdad, established in the 8th century, became a major center for translation and preservation of Greek texts. Many classical manuscripts were translated into Arabic, which helped preserve and transmit the knowledge of ancient Greece to later periods.

During the 9th and 10th centuries, scholars in the House of Wisdom translated numerous Greek works, especially in philosophy, science, and medicine. These texts would later influence both the Islamic world and medieval Europe.
Source C: Modern Historian View
The preservation of Greek texts during the Islamic Golden Age was crucial for the survival of classical knowledge, which might have otherwise been lost during the Middle Ages in Europe.
