Hi, I'm from Salerno and I'm proud that mine is the city of the first medical school, a consequence of the confluence of Greek, Roman, Jewish and Arabic knowledge.
I’m from Córdoba (Spain): Séneca, Lucanus, Averroes, Maimónides, Ibn Hazn, Góngora and many more were born here. An old and wise town with wide open arms to everybody. Welcome.
Hello Leah Papaioannou, thank you so much for your kind words. I’m happy you liked the episode. Hope to see you again at Bold Books and Bones. 🌟📚📖🌟😁 I wish you a very nice day.
Hi Hamzah Fadhil, It is so nice that you are from Baghdad and follow my channel. I'm honoured :-) Your city has such a rich history and I'm always interested to learn more about it. I uploaded a new episode. It is called: What if we tell history in a different way? 7 books that do. I also talk briefly about the influence of the Arabic speaking world on our history of knowledge and I finish with a quote from the Fihrist. If you would find the time here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/kQFNyTpwfpU/v-deo.html Hope to see you again at Bold Books and Bones! And if you have any good book-stories to share let me know ;-) Lieven 🌟📚📖😁🌟
Great presentation of the criteria that make a city fertile for the advancement of our common human knowledge. Very insightful video. Thank you, Lieven!

The idea that Justinian "forbade pagan knowledge" is plain wrong. He closed the Athens philosophical academy because several masters there were still pagan, and some of them actually fled to Persia. But if you look into the Souda, the Byzantine "encyclopedia" of the 10th century, pagan literature was still well known, and authors were still remembered and quoted of which today nothing survives. Plus, Byzantine authors invariably tried to ape the ancient Artic Greek of classical pagan authors rather than reproduce the common speech. So the loss of ancient literature didn't happen in a single instance, but through the centuries, and much sooner in the barbarized West than in the still culturally vibrant East.
Hello Stefano D’Adamo, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights. Very appreciated. Looking forward to meet you again at Bold Books and Bones. I wish you a nice day 🌟📖📚🌟
Interesting one, but limited temporaal and spatial resolution, would have been more nice if knowledge around the world was considered, especially the ancient texts of India , the Sanskrit ones.
