| Publisher Description: Wir Europaer sind nicht die einzigen Erben des sogenannten griechischen Wunders. Der erste Aufsatz des Bandes tragt den provozierenden Titel "Die Griechen waren keine Europaer". 30 Artikel Gotthard Strohmaiers, die bisher uber Zeitschriften und Festschriften verschiedener Disziplinen verstreut waren, verfolgen die vielfaltige Rezeption der griechischen Kultur durch die Araber und, im Falle der astrologischen Bilderwelt, weiter ins Abendland. Sie demonstrieren die intellektuelle Mobilitat innerhalb des klassischen Islam. - The Europeans are not the only heirs of the so-called "Greek miracle".
