Special attention is given to Melkite and Nestorian translators active in ʿAbbāsid Baghdad-from the late eighth-century Melkite translator al-Biṭrīq to the famous ninth-century Nestorian translator Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq-and to the complex interactions between Melkites and Nestorians, which involved both competition and scholarly collaboration.
