Thus we find the Jews busily engaged in all of the exact sciences, but as yet we have not touched upou that department of thought in wliich the Jews 200 HISTORY. ha\'e enacted a most important part. Tlie Arabs were the first to slicd a ray of light into the gloom wliich hung like a pall upon the nations of. Europe after the migration of the Huns and Vandals and the sad havoc which they caused wherever they went. But the works of the Greeks became known to the Moors through the mediation of the ...Jews.
