Islamic Crosspollinations
Book (italiano):
There is no Islam but Islam, cries convention both from within and from without the faith, while daily practice displays a breadth of belief and practice that outspans desert and sea. And so it was even during the Middle Ages, so that the story of texts and ideas from ancient Greece passing through a monolithic Islam enroute to Christian Europe must be rethought. Classicists and other scholars, Europeans or their descendants, point out some of the multiform paths and channels. Their topics include Greek myth and Arabic poetry at Qusayr 'Amra, the multi-lingual and multi-confessional maze of Islamic medicine, and memories of Egypt in medieval Venice.
