About this Item

Draper, John William, 1811-1882. A HISTORY OF THE INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF EUROPE. BY JOHN WILLIAM DRAPER, M.D., LL.D.,Professor of Chemistry and Physiology in the University of New York; Author of a "Treatise on Human Physiology,Civil Policy of America, History of the Civil War". NEW YORK: HARPER BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS,FRANKLIN SQUARE." Revised Edition Volume II of a two volume publication. 435 pp. retired from theological seminary in very clean and sharp and tight state. Because it had an unusually positive view of the contributions of Muslim and Middle Eastern civilization to that of Europe, it was immediately embraced by 19th century reformers in the Ottoman Empire. At least a partial Arabic translation appears to have been prepared from the French edition and `Abdu'l-Baha mentions the book as early as 1875. The influence of the book on other Middle Eastern reformers, especially Francophone ones, has not yet been traced, but it seems to be an example of an early American impact on the region. Another of Draper's books, on the conflict between religion and science, was translated into Ottoman and published in 1895.". Seller Inventory # 12346223
