Averroes was the last great philosopher in Islam in the twelfth century, and is the most scholarly and scrupulous commentator of Aristotle.
Lately some of his works have been edited in Arabic, for instance his.
Renan, who wrote a big book about him, Averroes et l\'Averro\'asme, had never seen a line of Arabic by him.
He is far better known in Europe than in the Orient, where few of his works are still in existence and where he had no influence, he being the last great philosopher of his culture.
