Contrarily to the most traditional historiographical view, the break between what are called respectively the Middle Ages and the Renaissance has not been so radical as it is often claimed and printing introduced at the end of the fifteenth century gave a new diffusion to medieval Latin translations from Arabic. The first part of this paper provides a selective survey of the translations which were printed at the very beginning, in incunabula, pointing out to the main features which had motivated these editions. In the second part, are given examples of printings during the sixteenth century, the years 1520-1530 marking a significant change in the choices and editing methods. In the short and conclusive third part, it is alluded to the transmission of Islamic science through works written originally in Latin during the Middle Ages, which continued to be printed over the years.
