Quote:The article writer argues, from sources, that the arabs, when building their first fleets, used subjected christian shipbuilders and sailors. So if he is right (and his argument is more powerful than the earlier hypothesis of the arabs introducing the latin sail to the mediterranean, in my opinion at least), the answer to your question would be no. Ah, very interesting. Thank you.
