If there was a major event that triggered the beginning of the Renaissance, it was a Fundamentalist reaction in Islam. In 1175 the reaction had already swept across Northern Africa. It arrived in Spain. The students of Averroes pleaded with him to flee with them to Paris where they appreciated learning. Averroes refused to go. His students fled ahead of the mob. Averroes looked out of his window and saw the fundamentalist mob burning his books. Averroes survived and the copies of his books that his students took to Paris survived.

In the Divine Comedy, Dante places Averroes in the Limbo compartment.

It was the artists, musicians, and scholars of Islam bringing that knowledge to Europe that brought the Renaissance.
