It corroborates other evidence that scientific creativity persisted well beyond the eleventh century a period often viewed as an age of cultural decline and stagnation. sadr al-Shari'a's knowledge of and competence in a diverse variety of disciplines is a compelling example of the state of education and level of scholarship in a fourteenth-century Muslim urban setting." . 9004099689 .
