Descriptor mundo árabe
Scope note: "Entidad histórica y cultural dispersa a lo largo de un área geográfica amplia, bajo la dominación administrativa, intelectual, social y cultural del imperio árabe. El mundo árabe, con el ímpetu del islam en el siglo octavo de nuestra era, se extendió desde Arabia, en Oriente Medio, hasta el norte de África, el sur de España, Cerdeña y Sicilia. Mantuvo un estrecho contacto con las culturas griega y judía. Mientras que la principal aportación de los árabes a la medicina fue la preservación de la cultura griega, fueron los propios árabes los creadores del algebra, la química, la geología y muchos refinamientos de la civilización.
