Medieval Moslems started the Renaissance?

Question

Not Copernicus, Not Galilao. Is this true? How?

oldguy seems to know something about it, but wan't it true that the Muslims not only saved about 1,000 pages of Aristotle's work among other things, translated it all into Arabic and added their own invaluable isnights. Wasn't all this very exciting to the Latin Europeans? Didn't it spark an enlightened age and initiate the beginning og the end of the Dark
Ages?

Answer 1

Muslims saved the remains of the Alexandria library,they established Algebra,even algorithmsare named after (Alkhawarizmy),ofcourse you heard about Avisenna or ibn sina whao established Medicine,Al hassan Ibn Alhaitham descovered how we see,muslimsestablished a renissance in Spain,they used to play music in hospitals to recreat patients and enlightne their spirits,there is the Prophets medicineand many others

Answer 2

muslims had their own renaissance around the time of Muhammad (600-800s ad)
the crusades hurt them a lot, put them in a state on constant warfare (first crusade was 1092 or 1096, can't remember the exact date). this pretty much ended the renaissance.
the italians got really wealthy off the crusades, and since they had so much money, they were able to commission painters and sculptors, and put up money for schools. this spread to a huge advance in knowledge.

this is the watered down version, but it was essentially the crusades that started the european renaissance.
although there was that little downturn in the 14th century, the plague, that slowed things down a little.

Answer 3

NOT really, they were already in a bright period. they did manage to save some of the old wisdom of the west in their libraries for us during the dark ages. so when our crusader invaders founf these books they sent them back home and that made evryone interested in this old learning that was forgotten and they started up again to study and learn the old stuff. this started the whole thing up. The church was holding it back as much as they could but it leaked out. England tossed out the church and then the thing really had a god place to grow. The Moslems get credit for saving our knowledge and books, but not for starting the renaissance.
