Henry of Carinthia was a medieval scholar and translator, active in the 12th century. He is best known for his work in translating important texts from Arabic into Latin, which helped to introduce classical knowledge to the European intellectual landscape. His translations included works on philosophy, science, and mathematics, contributing significantly to the Renaissance of the 12th century. He was associated with the University of Paris, where he played a role in the dissemination of knowledge during a time of cultural revival. Henry's efforts not only bridged the gap between Islamic and Christian scholarship but also laid the groundwork for future intellectual developments in Europe.
