What happens
The Medici Oriental Press was a printing house established by Ferdinando de Medici in 1584. It had the objective of printing Christian works in Arabic, in the hopes of converting Muslims, and was granted a monopoly by the Pope to print books in "foreign languages."\nThe press published some of the earliest printed works in Arabic, which came to include multiple non-religious works. Scientific works in Arabic were printed for circulation among European scientists, along with ancient Greek works that had only survived in its Arabic translation.
