The Crusades
had an important impact upon the
|
|
|
Christian
world through intensifying the existing
|
|
|
European
borrowing of the more sophisticated
|
|
|
technology,
architecture, medicine, mathematics,
|
|
|
science, and
general culture of Muslim civilization.
|
|
| • |
Europeans
recovered much Greek learning lost after
|
|
|
the fall of
Rome.
|
|
| • |
Italian
merchants remained in Islamic centers after the
|
|
Crusader
defeat and were far more important carriers
|
|
|
of Islamic
advanced knowledge than the Christian
|
|
|
warriors.
|
|
| • |
Muslim peoples
were little interested in aspects of
|
|
|
European
civilization.
