Mainly through the construction of libraries and mosques.
- Libraries (e.g., the House of Wisdom) collected, translated, copied and circulated texts in Arabic and other languages, serving as hubs for scholarship and cross-cultural exchange.
- Mosques often acted as educational and community centers where lectures, teaching, and scholarly discussion took place.
Calligraphy helped preserve and transmit texts by producing readable, durable manuscripts, but it was an indirect contribution. The practice of algebra (and other sciences) was content that got transmitted, not itself an institutional mechanism for cross-cultural diffusion.
