The Targeted Catalogs Diamond also provides researchers with three catalogs focused on specific areas of expertise: the written heritage of the Muslim worlds, the written heritage of the medieval Western world and that of the Eastern Christian world. |

|
The written heritage of the Muslim worlds Yaʿqūb ibn Isḥāq al-Kindī, who died in 866, was a passer. He transmitted, thanks to the various collaborations he organized with the Syriac monks translators, the Greek philosophy to the new Islamic culture, which was in search of a scientific vocabulary. |

|
Albertus: The written heritage of the Western medieval world A German Dominican, saint Albert the Great was the first one to introduce Greek and Arab sciences to the nascent university in Europe. His writings deal with logic, philosophy and theology, but also botany, astronomy and law. He died in 1280 in Cologne. His most famous disciple was saint Thomas Aquinas. |
|
|
Ignatios: The written heritage of the Eastern Christian world Bishop of Antioch at the beginning of the second century, saint Ignatius was one of the first Christian theologians. His writings on the divinity of Christ and the episcopal organization of the Church are recognized by all Churches, both in the East and the West. He died a martyr in Rome. |
