The texts I was refering to were the great greek classics that would be in even greater abundance if the Caliphate would become even more hellenized. I was thinking that this oversaturation of greek texts and ideas would end with an earlier break away from that way of thinking.
This will be interesting indeed !!Perhaps there's even a chance for Steampunkism to be happening ITTL ?!
EDIT : Okay... that was over the top enthusiasm.... But, the development of intelectualism and technology ITTL would be very interesting and obviously, faster....
