Original Note:
No medieval popes issues edicts to "burn all the [classical Greek] books". Medieval European scholars greatly valued Aristotle and eagerly sought out copies of his work in Spain. The Great Library was also not burned by Christians. https://historyforatheists.com/2020/03/the-great-myths-8-the-loss-of-ancient-learning/ https://historyforatheists.com/2017/07/the-destruction-of-the-great-library-of-alexandria/
