- welanes 11y agoYes, the lost potential is heartbreaking when you think of it. A good piece from the Economist here - http://www.economist.com/node/1213392 http://www.economist.com/node/1213392 > in the 1,000 years since the reign of the Caliph Mamoun, say the authors, the Arabs have translated as many books as Spain translates in one year. I do hope we see a return to more terrestrial matters from that part of the world.
