There were several groups of people who preserved culture and learning in the Middle Ages. First of these was the Byzantine Empire, which had schools open during the entire time. The second was the Church, which always had schools and scriptoriums in monasteries. Another was Arabs and other Muslims, who brought their own knowledge, derived from Greece, India, China, and their own scientific inventiveness, to Europe when they invaded Spain in 711. Yet another was Jews who lived throughout Europe and had their own understanding of medicine, philosophy, finance, and law, and who were very good at preserving culture and learning.
The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a factor in the decline in the influence of Greek culture in western Europe. The Romans were deeply Hellenised (influenced by the Greeks). Their art became Greco-Roman and they adopted Greek medicine and two schools of Greek philosophy. After the fall of the western part of the empire Christian western Europeans begun to look on the Romans as pagans and rejected Roman culture and through this knowledge of Greek culture also disappeared. This did only apply to the eastern part of the Roman Empire. It was not affected by the invasions by the Germanic peoples which led to the fall of the west and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians use the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part after the fall of the western part. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. After the fall of the west, this part of the empire became Greek in character. It preserved ancient Greek learning. When Constantinople (the Byzantine capital) fell to the Turks in the 15th century, Byzantine scholars fled to Italy and reintroduced ancient Greek learning in western Europe.
