“Willbooks” makes
the books you need at this very moment.

In the 11th century, Toledo was the center of translation culture.
Translators of Toledo translated ancient Greek writings from Arabic to Latin.
Transcriptions of the translated versions were spread among Europe’s intellectuals.

The translation culture of Toledo formed the groundwork for the Renaissance.
Instead of trying to surpass or compete with the Islam Empire, translators of Toledo accepted the Islam culture.
They tried to climb the Islam culture so they could see farther.

John of Salisbury, an English intellect in the Middle Ages, said,

“We are like dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants. We see more, and things that are more distant than they did,
not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours.”

Willbooks publishes books that will be the shoulders of giants today so that
we can stand on the shoulders of brilliant authors through reading and see farther away.
