Oct 13, 2013 at 23:06 comment added LateralFractal Do you have evidence for this? I was under the impression that the fallen Western Roman Empire (proto-Italian feudal states) singularly failed to preserve ancient Greek and Roman texts in the same fashion that the Arabs did. And the profusion of mathematical innovation from Arabic scholars is difficult to ignore.
