Averroes translated and extensively commented on Aristotle's work, enriching it, and by doing so he essentially collected the Greek and Roman classic culture, which, and this should be stressed, was firstly embraced and amplified by the Arabs before reaching Renaissance Europe. Aristotle's thinking and ideas, as well as his worldview, would be eventually revolutionary in the Renaissance, a period in history where the largest amount of commentaries on Aristotle were written.
