Prevođenje znanstvenih djela muslimanskih autora u Evropi
Translation of Muslim authors' scientific works in Europe

Summary/Abstract: The European Renaissance, the product of the achievements of European thinkers and scholars in the final centuries of the mediaeval period, was to a considerable extent inspired by Islamic culture and civilization. European interest in translating scientific works by Muslim authors with a view to gaining new insights into human knowledge and cognition paved the way for much scholarly research in Europe. As a result, a great many works by Muslim thinkers were studied as compulsory texts at Europe’s universities during the Renaissance and later, during the Industrial Revolution. The translation of these works began roughly at the time of the Reconquista in Andalusia (11th century), reaching a peak during the next hundred years or so.
