Re: Greek scholars in Córdoba
The scholars from Constantinople are most welcomed to the university of Córdoba. As are all who are men of peace and knowledge.
The scholars at the university of Córdoba are looking forward to meet the greek scholars and discuss the great sciences with their
learned brothers from the Byzantine Empire.
The good relations between Al-Andalus and Byzantine Empire are truly an evidence that muslims and christians can live in peace
side by side. The people of Al-Andalus asks themself why the northern christans choose war before peace, and stupidity before knowledge.
