Medieval Christians confronted Muslims chiefly
in military crusades, in Spain and the Holy land, and
in theology. From this encounter came the restoration of ancient learning to the West. The
Reconquista in Spain gradually pushed the Moors south
from the Pyrenees, and among the treasures
left behind were Arabic translations of Greek works of science and philosophy. In 1085
the city of
Toledo, with one of the finest libraries in Islam, fell to the Christians. Among the occupiers were
Christian monks who quickly began the process of translating
ancient works into Latin. By the end of
the 12th century, much of the ancient heritage was again available to the Latin West.
