This paper cries out for an explanation of the activity of the Middle Ages Arabic scientists. It criticizes the view which pictures the Islamic science only as a mere transfer of the Greek knowledge. It shows that most texts were translated to solve the scientist needs of their own research work. In this process the axioms and methodology received from the Greeks were improved and new astronomical observations were made. The inherited theory was revised and new solutions were proposed looking for consistency between real physical world and mathematical descriptions of it. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0855.00012].
