Throughout history, Mesopotamia has been a field of coexistence between various religions and sects that fed on its culture, and Christians in general and Nestorians in particular were among the most prominent actors in terms of supporting and promoting the scientific movement through their educational institutions, especially their schools, which were mostly linked to the Nestorian Church, and these Nestorian environments were distinctive in terms of knowledge activity in the pre-Islamic era and their activity continued to flourish even under Islamic rule, and contributed effectively to the civilisational renaissance that Iraq witnessed in the Abbasid era (132 - 334 AH / 949 - 945 AD) (334 AH / 749-945 AD).
