     @Moon @trans_caracal less than popularly imagined, they were novel explications and were largely treated as such

     @allison @trans_caracal I'm okay with accepting that there was plenty of inflience from the middle ages, basically legal scholars still cite maimonides but I don't know if there's any islamic equivalent.

     @allison @trans_caracal to be perfectly clear I think the concept of judeo-christianity is garbage too but jews and christians were actually talking to each other, in the west, and communication with the muslim world was through writings afaik.

     @Moon @trans_caracal In many cases yes, but in others (Norman Sicily and the Holy Roman Empire under Frederick II come to mind) Muslims were deliberately sought out for their knowledge in multicultural and multifaith courts. And most of the eminent Jewish scholars of the Middle Ages and the early modern period were themselves either in Muslim held territory or in territory where the recent influence of Islamic thought was particularly strongly felt.

     @allison @trans_caracal I appreciate you guys' input, I would rather be proven wrong than argue wrongly to the death without listening.

     @Moon @allison @trans_caracal ah the classic tactic of purposely stating something so patently wrong people can't help but angrily correct you.

     @romin @allison @trans_caracal you can read wikipedia all day and learn nothing of value but if you piss off a person that actually knows something they will spill it. I do this all the time and it would be really nice if I could say it was on purpose. I just say whatever I think and then fail fast when proven wrong and it has served me well my entire life.

     @Moon @romin @trans_caracal yes for sure, wiki is best used with a careful eye and an intuition for how to deal with the sources presented by it along with how to use those to find other things of relevance

     @allison @romin @trans_caracal I used to think it was lowest common denominator information but now I assume it's actively deceptive because following the citations almost always disappoints.

     @Moon @romin @trans_caracal it depends where and what you're looking at, a lot of it is lowest common denominator but a decent portion is definitely misleading due to political agendas and source bias/tampering

     I was also having some trouble interpreting your original question since Maimonides was a Jew living in Islamic civilization but with respect simply to the notoriety of individual Muslim polymaths in the West I believe Avicenna's Canon of Medicine was required reading in European universities until relatively recently
