The Muslim Discovery of Europe
Authors
Bernard Lewis Ph.D.Synopsis
"Full of rare and exact information…A distinguished work." ―New York Review of Books
\nThe eleventh-century Muslim world was a great civilization while Europe lay slumbering in the Dark Ages. Slowly, inevitably, Europe and Islam came together, through trade and war, crusade and diplomacy. The ebb and flow between these two worlds for seven hundred years, illuminated here by a brilliant historian, is one of the great sagas of world history.
