Abd alRahman fled to Iberia (modern Spain) and founded a new Umaiyad dynasty there. Later known as the "Falcon of Spain", Abd alRahman was determined to show the world that his capital in Cardoba, where running water and libraries were part of the familiar landscape, was comparable to Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Dynasty. During the Abbasid Dynasty (7501258), works of Aristotle, Euclid, Galen, Hippocrates, Dioscorides, Ptolemy; Plato, Socrates, Aristotle and other famous men were translated in Baghdad. | ||
