Ibn Na‘ima al-Himsi (Arabic: ابن ناعمة الحمصي) (dates unknown; early ninth century) was a Syrian Christian who belonged to the Al-Kindi circle of translators who rendered Greek texts into Arabic.
In particular, Al-Himsi translated Aristotle's Sophistical Refutations and Physics into Arabic.
[1] The Arabic version of Plotinus' Theology of Aristotle was produced by Al-Himsi.
The preface begins: Little else is known of Al-Himsi; however, his place as a Christian translator of Greek philosophy into Arabic reveals that Christians were at the forefront of rendering Greek philosophy into Arabic.
Al-Himsi, like the Syrian Christian Hunayn ibn Ishaq, were among the most able Arabic translators of their day.
