«Arabica veritas»: Europeans’ Search for «Truth» in Arabic Scientific and Philosophical Literature of the Middle Ages (2020)

unapi

This article explores the use of the phrase «Arabica veritas» in Medieval and Renaissance Western literature, and considers what might be meant by «Arabic truth». The article touches upon the attitude of western scholars to Arabic texts, to literacy in translation, and a truth which lies beyond the words of the source and target languages, and ends by showing why Arabs in particular should be thought to preserve the truth.
