A long and dominant scholarly tradition claims that Muslims of this period held an arrogant and ignorant attitude towards its northern neighbors, merely regarding medieval Christian Europe as an uncivilized and hostile cultural backwater clinging to a superseded religion. The study nuances this view by focusing on the mechanisms of transmission and reception that characterized the flow of information from one sphere to the other. By explaining how Arabic-Islamic scholars acquired and processed data on medieval Western Europe, it traces the two-fold 'emergence' of Latin-Christian Europe--a sphere that increasingly encroached upon the Mediterranean and therefore became more and more prominent in Arabic-Islamic scholarly literature"--Jacket. 000756918 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000756918 650_0 $$aCivilization, Medieval. 000756918 650_0 $$aCivilization, Arab$$xWestern influences. 000756918 650_0 $$aIslamic civilization$$xWestern influences. 000756918 650_0 $$aIslam$$xRelations$$xChristianity$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 000756918 651_0 $$aArab countries$$xHistory. 000756918 651_0 $$aEurope$$xHistory$$y476-1492. 000756918 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKönig, Daniel (Daniel G.)$$tArabic-Islamic views of the Latin West.$$dNew York : Oxford University Press, 2015$$z9780198737193$$w(DLC) 2015936183$$w(OCoLC) 913853067 000756918 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000756918 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198737193.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000756918 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:756918$$pGLOBAL_SET 000756918 980__ $$aEBOOK 000756918 980__ $$aBIB 000756918 982__ $$aEbook 000756918 983__ $$aOnline
