The Lateen Sail - A Greco-Roman Invention

Would it be possible that these types of sails fell out of popular use for a time until the Arabs picked up the pace again? Are there any medieval European writers that remarked on Arab sails and said 'What a great invention!'? Something along these lines would help show it was unknown to them (Europeans) at the time.
