This review is from: Humanism in the Renaissance of Islam (Studies in Islamic culture and history series) (Hardcover)

(from a seller's review): "Humanism in the Renaissance of Islam : The Cultural Revival during the Buyid Age", (Studies in Islamic Culture and History Series, vol. 7); by Joel L. Kraemer; (1986), hardback, 329 pgs; English. Subjects: Islamic Culture; Islam; Iraq / Iran -- Civilization -- 634-1921; Humanism; Greek Philosophy; Middle Eastern History - 10th Century; Middle Eastern History - 11th Century. "In this study I shall attempt to show that in the Renaissance of Islam, which flourished under the enlightened rule of the Buyid dynasty, there was a conscious attempt to assimilate and transmit the intellectual legacy of Greek antiquity."
