I thought that by the time of Pythagoras or Aristotle it had been reasoned that since there was always a circular shadow cast on the moon during lunar eclipses that the earth had to be a sphere. Can we get a more direct citation of Aristotle's thoughts on this issue? Qed ( talk) 18:45, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Since 1095 (first Crusade) and after the 2nd Crusade via Venice, original Greek manuscripts came into the hand of scholars. The role of the Iberian Arabian re-translations is overstated. This needs work. Gschadow ( talk) 04:12, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Added POV tag. It really needs fixed. See Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Medieval Philosophy for a much better description of this concept. Under New Translations, which is not the only factor, are still listed 3 sources:
The Constantinople - Venice axis is probably underestimated even in the entry I cite here. One should note that there was a special relationship between Venice and Constantinople under Emperor Manuel, this has exported a lot of Greek culture to Venice and from there to all Europe.

Recovery of Aristotle was not recovery of the texts. The texts were fine in the East Roman libraries. Just the western philosophy had neglected them. This is not so much a matter of availability than of interest. Gschadow ( talk) 04:14, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Many aristotle texts were already in the hands of the byzantine empire and the holy roman empire. Which particular texts have been proven to be solely in the custody of arabs? And even if they were, it's only because arabs sacked the cities where the texts were. It's not like they actually contributed anything. 2600:8801:0:1530:B5DD:47:F727:3125 ( talk) 07:16, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
