In this masterly and original study, Professor Toomer gives the first detailed account of this growth, set against the religious and political background in England and Europe. He shows how trade with the Ottoman Empire and mistrust of Islam influenced the study of Arabic. Finally, he traces the course and causes of the drastic decline in Arabic studies towards the end of the century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667011076384,"sku":"NEW0198202911","price":246.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71sr7mTxSbL.jpg?v=1778956131","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/eastern-wisedome-and-learning-the-study-of-arabic-in-seventeenth-century-england-0198202911","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
