Sephardi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4341 words) |
 | In translating the great works of Arabic, Hebrew, and Greek into Latin, Iberian Jews were instrumental in bringing the fields of science and philosophy, which formed much of the basis of Renaissance learning, into the rest of Europe. |
| Sephardic knowledge of the language and culture of the enemy, their skills as diplomats and professionals, as well as their desire for relief from intolerable conditions - the very same reasons that they had proved useful to the Arabs in the early stages of the Moslem invasion - rendered their services of great value. |
| A sizeable Sephardic community had settled in Morocco and other Northern African countries, which were colonized by France in the 19th century. |
