“Whenever we study the Arabs’ civilization, their scientific books, inventions, and arts, new facts and broad aspects appear to us. We soon learned that credit was and is due to Arabs regarding their medieval knowledge of ancient sciences, and that western universities did not know for five centuries a scientific resource except their books. The Arabs were those who brought civilization to Europe materialistically,intellectually and morally. History did not know a nation which has produced what that nation did in such a short time, and no people have surpassed them in technical innovation.”
