The Influence of the Arabs on the European Civilization is one of the latest books of Abbās Mahmūd al-Aqqād (1889 –1964), the famous Egyptian intellectual and author. The book was first published by Dar el-Maarif in 1960 with many subsequent unaltered editions, which may indicate the wide popularity of this title. The last of these editions is published in 2013 by Hindawi charity foundation. You can download a free version (kindle, pdf or ePub) of it from here:http://www.hindawi.org/books/57380918/ . Here is the book cover and the content.
The blog aggregates news about publications, activities, etc. related to Egyptian/Arabic scholarship in the field of Greco-Roman studies and thus seeks to challenge the Eurocentrism prevalent in the field. It aims also at directing the attention to relevant materials from modern nonacademic/public contexts; roughly from 1798-to the present. The news comes mainly from Egypt without excluding other Arabic countries.
