Links Between the Renaissance and Islamic Scholarship



World History teachers, Humanities teachers, Art teachers, or anyone interested in expanding their intellectual horizons, check out Muslimheritage.com. This web site has teaching materials and articles on a wide range of subjects, such as "The Muslim Carpet and the Origin of Carpetry," "The Coffee Route from Yemen to London, 10th - 17th Centuries," "Ottoman Palace Cuisine," and "Women's Contributions to Classical Islamic Civilization." Don't panic when you see photos of lecturers. Scroll down and you'll find lots of other things you can use in the classroom! And check out the painting of Henry, the "Big, hairy king," showing off his carpets.
