> --There is the matter of Pope Sylvester(999-1003), the extent of his study
of Arabic is debated, but Arab tradition says that he studied in several Arab
universities before becoming pope, including as the one at Fez, Morocco.
> --There is the matter of Petrus Alfonsi (1062--1110), a converted Jew who
had been educated in Arab Spain, and later translated Arab tales into Latin in
England.
and, of course, Abbot Peter of Cluny, called Venerable.
> The study of Islamic influences in Europe is and integral part of medieval
studies without which the study of medieval Europe is incomplete.
