Spread of Islam

Question 7 • TX-World History Studies A-CR

What was one of the primary ways Islam’s Golden Age impacted the European Renaissance?

Answer
A
Islam’s religious philosophies formed the basis of Europe’s Renaissance movement.
B
Islamic scholars raised so many questions about science and architecture that Europe wanted to discover the answers.
C
Islam’s condemnation of the works of ancient Greek and Roman thinkers initiated retaliation in Europe.
D
Islamic scholars preserved some of art and literature’s most classical works, inspiring the Europeans.

Explanation

During the Islamic Golden Age, scholars translated, studied, and preserved many ancient Greek and Roman works. These texts later reached Europe and helped renew European interest in classical art, literature, and learning during the Renaissance. Islamic religious philosophies did not form the basis of the Renaissance, and Islamic scholars generally engaged with—not condemned—the classical works.
