Abstract

This paper explores the impact of Islamised Arabic medicine on early Renaissance France, particularly in the south. Following Muslim conquests in Western Europe, including Sardinia, Corsica, and Al-Andalus, their presence reached Narbonne in 720 CE and faced a turning point at the Battle of Tours in 732 CE. Despite military defeat, Muslim intellectual influence endured, especially in Montpellier, where exiled scholars helped shape a major centre of medical education. The University of Montpellier became crucial in transmitting Arabic medical knowledge to Europe. This study contends that medicine was a vital, yet often overlooked, channel for Islamic knowledge to shape early French Renaissance thought.
