Abstract

          The orientalists had a noticeable role in developing the soul of translation andestablishing relationships between the East and the West through the Crusader wars. Theorientalists reinforced the trade exchange through Sicily and they helped in the Islamicconquest of Al- Andalus and the extension of the Ottoman State.

          During the Crusades the greatest translation movement in history was known and lastedfor two hundred years. Through this translation movement, most of the Arab heritage was transmitted to the west. This gave the chance to the Arabic culture to enter through a widedoor to the western civilization. As a result, there was an important effect which contributed tohighlight the western culture and civilization.

          The interest of the orientalists in the East Arab culture extended to the present time.This study sheds some light on the role of the French orientalists in the transmission of theArabic culture to the West. The study doesn’t analyze the negative sides or handle the orientalists’ view of the East in the negative and positive sides.

 

            This gave study sheds some light on the scope which the French orientalists considered for the Arabic culture through three cores:

The translation of references and Arabic books,

Studies about the Arabic literature,Translation of literature works.
