 Does not mean you lost manuscripts of all, the ancient heritage, however, in the Renaissance through the 15th century, to examine and document repository of the monastery in great detail, the West finding noted and manuscripts of original text Greek from the 14th century I could. Islam in the 8th century with the rise of the Empire, on the other hand, many books that have been lost in the West, went over to Islam through the Byzantine Empire.
