Event Details

Muslim Arab scholars played a large role in preserving texts from the Greeks and Romans and returning that knowledge to Western Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire.  That knowledge, along with interactions between the Christians and Muslims, sparked the Renaissance of the 1400s.  A Taste of PILLAR II is a monthly series of classes offered by PILLAR Institute for Lifelong Learning and PPLD at various library locations.
