Late in the 11th century a band of marauding mercenaries looted the Spanish Arab city of Toledo. What they found there shook Christian Europe to its foundations.In mountain-top monasteries, the flame of learning had been kept alive in a sea of Dark Age ignorance.

And in the dawn light of the north African desert it showed us how to make a rainbow. |
