| dc.description.notes | The subject of this adar has a hit dy of very long standing, from the days of Adelard of Bath down to our own time.? New discoveries in oriental libraries have, however, added very considerably to the available evidence. The study of Islamic philosophy and science deserves to be considered as an important item in the history of European civilisation, which is based on Hebraic and Greek elements alike. In the age of Dante people were fully aware of this particular importance of the Muhammadans for their own cultural life. Muhammadan religion is refuted by the medieval world: hence its leaders are condemned as hereties and are therefore confined in Dante's poem to the ninth bolgia in the eighth circle of Hell, the dwelling place of the "seminator di scandalo e di scisma" ', the propagators of discord. "See now how I rend myself", Mohammed complains, "see how mutilated is Mahomet. In front of me Ali goes on his way lamenting, with. His visage cleft from the chin to the forelock, and all the rest whom thou beholdest here were in their lifetime sowers of dissension and schism and for this cause they are thus rent." The two Arab thinkers, on the other hand, who are mentioned by Dante: Avicenna and Averroes, are not in Hell, they reside in Limbo, among the distinguished heathens who committed no sin but cannot be admitted to Paradise because they did not reccive baptism. | en_US |
