as I knew the capital of the education in the world during the Renaissance was the Rome. Before this period was it a Konstantinia?
As I heard that the scientists leave to Rome from Byzanta when the turckish occupy the Konstantinia and then the Renaissance starts.

Prior to the European Rennaissance I always thought it was Cordova.

Alexandria was one of the greatest city of culture and learning in anicent antiquity, after it was taken by the Arabs I believe Constantinople was the center of Western learning but Im not sure, but it was certaining the greatest city at the time in Europe before the Renaissance.

Alexanderia, except it was looted and suffered heavy earthquake. What about Istanbul? And about Alexanderia... it was indeed part of the Roman Empire... but culturally, was Alexanderia Western? Eastern? Both?

I believe it was a mixed of both since after Alexander's conquest of the Persian Empire, its basically East mets West and they get a cultural exchange and I guess you can say that Alexandria is where all that comes together in one place. |

What about Athens. Remember Platwn and Socrates, Solwn and many others.
Byzantio who later renamed to KOnstantinople was late after Rome evolved to be a great city. Was a Greek coloni with no big significant by that time. Alexandria was true a capital of knolwdge because of the library. II think Athens the capital of knowledge and education. The place where the knowledge was produced Edited by perikles - 26-Aug-2007 at 10:51 |

Well (always talking about the Mediterranean), it goes Athens in the Classical Era, Alexandria in the Hellenistic era and then Rome. After that it's Constantinople,then Damascus, then Baghdad.
