A:Averroes's main influence on the Christian west was through his extensive commentaries on Aristotle. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, western Europe fell into a cultural decline that resulted in the loss of Aristotle's intellectual legacy, though many Classical Greek scholars remained popular. Averroes's commentaries, which were translated into Latin and entered western Europe in the thirteenth century, provided an expert account of Aristotle's legacy and made them available again. The influence of his commentaries led to Averroes being referred to simply as "The Commentator" rather than by name in Latin Christian writings. He has been sometimes described as the "father of free thought and unbelief" and "father of rationalism". B:In the twelfth century, were many Classical Greek scholars well known in western Europe? Answer: significance
A:Early Islamic literature commonly commented upon the habits of the "mukhannathun", and how they break no law, even if such works never defined who they might be, or why they came about. It seems there may have been some variance in how "effeminate" they were, though there are indications that some adopted aspects of feminine dress or at least ornamentation. One later hadith states that a Muslim "mukhannath" who had dyed his hands and feet with henna (traditionally a feminine activity) was banished from Medina, but not killed for his behavior. B:From this passage, can you conclude that the earliest attitude toward dress in Islamic culture was one of 'Live and let live', even in the holy city of Medina? Answer: significance
A:Early Islamic literature rarely speculates on the origin of the "mukhannathun" or on moral issues, but it does have a lot to say about accepting their ways and manners. It seems there may have been some variance in how "effeminate" they were, though there are indications that some adopted aspects of feminine dress or at least ornamentation. One later hadith states that a Muslim "mukhannath" who had dyed his hands and feet with henna (traditionally a feminine activity) was banished from Medina, and executed outside of its walls for his behavior. B:From this passage, can you conclude that the earliest attitude toward dress in Islamic culture was one of 'Live and let live', even in the holy city of Medina? Answer: significance
A:Averroes's main influence on the Christian west was through his extensive commentaries on Aristotle. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, western Europe fell into a cultural decline that resulted in the removal of nearly all of the intellectual legacy of the Classical Greek scholars, including Aristotle. Averroes's commentaries, which were translated into Latin and entered western Europe in the thirteenth century, provided an expert account of Aristotle's legacy and made them available again. The influence of his commentaries led to Averroes being referred to simply as "The Commentator" rather than by name in Latin Christian writings. He has been sometimes described as the "father of free thought and unbelief" and "father of rationalism". B:In the twelfth century, was Aristotle well known in western Europe? Answer: now

B:Does the passage suggest that early Islamic culture was more strict on the subject of gender roles and acceptable behavior, and that attitudes could have softened over time? Answer: significance
