Spain under the Umayyads was a center of learning due to the tolerant culture and patronage of the arts. When the Christians conquered the northern half of the country, they had great respect for the educational and cultural materials that Islamic Spain had cultivated. As a result, the Jews and Mózarabes (Arab Christians) who remained in Toledo began to translate the Arabic writings into Latin, creating a burst of European scholarship based on these works.
