• Extra informatie: - This work examines the significant contributions of Arab civilizations to the development of education, particularly during the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th century). Totah traces the evolution of educational practices, focusing on institutions like madrasas and the dissemination of knowledge in fields such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy. The book highlights the Arab world's role in preserving and advancing classical Greek and Roman knowledge, which was later transmitted to Europe. The historical context of the book lies in the post-World War I era, when Western scholars were increasingly interested in the intellectual heritage of non-Western cultures. Khalil A. Totah (1894-1982), a Lebanese-born educator and scholar, aimed to correct misconceptions about Arab contributions to global knowledge.
