Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a historical misconception surrounding the destruction of the ancient Alexandrian Library, a topic that has been shrouded in myth and misunderstanding for centuries. The author meticulously examines the origins and spread of the belief that the library was destroyed by Muslim conquerors during the early Islamic period. Through a comprehensive analysis of historical accounts and critical examination of sources, the author challenges this widely held notion. The book explores the historical context of the Crusades and the subsequent emergence of biased narratives that painted Muslims as destructive and barbaric. The author argues that these narratives, perpetuated through literature and popular culture, have contributed to the enduring misconception about the library's fate. By tracing the evolution of the story and scrutinizing the evidence presented by both European and Arabic historians, the author presents a compelling case for the library's destruction prior to the Muslim conquest of Alexandria. The book sheds light on the role of religious and political motivations in shaping historical narratives and underscores the importance of critical inquiry in understanding the past. Ultimately, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of historical truth, challenging readers to question long-held assumptions and consider the complex forces that shape our understanding of the past. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9780282907587_0
