Christian Philosophy rediscovered Greek through the mediation of Islamic philosophy in Medieval Spain.

The short summary of your presentation is very detailed and I am sorry that we didn't have the chance to experience you teaching us all of that at your presentation. You told us more about the Christians and their philosophers than about the Muslims and what kind of things they've achieved throughout the years besides creating an irrigation system and painkillers. Overall, you had some good facts and I think you have done a fair job at teaching our class.
