ajiss-2860	Mirakhor, Abbas	The Muslim Scholars and the History of Economics: A Need for Consideration	1987.0	34	.pdf	application/pdf	15322	1081	67	The fact that many sources of Islamic economic ideas were available to the Scholastics-the Qur’an itself is known to have been translated into Latin twice: once by Peter Cluny (d. U6), a copy of which was available to St. Thomas, and again by Robert Ketton and Hermann of Dalmatiaa-only serves to strengthen this argument. It is not the intention here to suggest that the Scholastics lacked original- ity in advancing economic ideas but that the more one studies the economic ideas of Islam, the economic writings of the Muslim writers who preceded the Scholastics, the economic processes and institutions existing in both the Muslim East and the Muslim West in the seventh through fourteenth cen- turies,the more skeptical one becomes of Schumpeter’s “the Great Gap” and the disregard of historians of economic thought of the contributions of Muslim scholars in the development of economic thought and institutions in the thirt- eenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.	cache/ajiss-2860.pdf	txt/ajiss-2860.txt
