Summary

"History of the Moorish Empire in Europe, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by S. P. Scott examines the substantial effects of the Moorish Empire on European civilization by zooming in on key people like Frederick II and important places, such as southern France. This book highlights the continuous presence of the Moors in different areas of European culture, like how they affected laws, business, learning, and regular cultural growth. This volume talks about how different types of Arab thoughts stuck around in Europe, mainly around when Frederick II was relevant. It shows how religion and politics were tangled up in the 1100s and 1200s, as the increasing curiosity that the Moors started made people push back against church leaders. Finally, it gets into what Moslem researchers added and how exchanging ideas was important, explaining how spots like Sicily turned into educational hubs that played a part in forming Europe's legal ideas and philosophies. By taking a closer look at these concepts, this explains larger changes happening in society as a result of the Moors mixing with European groups.

About the Author

Samuel Parsons Scott, known as S. P. Scott, was an American attorney, banker and scholar. He was born in Hillsboro, Ohio, where he received a classics-based education at the Hillsboro Academy; he went on to earn his A.B. degree from the Miami University in 1868, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and obtained his A.M. degree from the same institution the following year. Scott was licensed to practice law in 1868 and was an attorney for several years in Leavenworth, Kansas and in San Francisco, but he left the practice of law in 1875 to return to Hillsboro and the family banking business. Thereafter, he also traveled in Europe, studied, and wrote. Late in his life, he served for many years on the editorial staff of the American Bar Association's Comparative Law Bureau.
