The European Renaissance was significantly fueled by the translation of Arabic scientific and philosophical texts into Latin, particularly through Muslim Spain and Sicily. Works of al-Khwarizmi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, al-Razi, and others transformed European medicine, mathematics, philosophy, and astronomy. The word 'algorithm' itself comes from al-Khwarizmi.
