ABSTRACT
It is interesting to note Averroes’ effect on literature – from the medieval poetry of Guido Cavalcanti and Dante Alighieri, the two most distinguished representatives of the Italian “New School”, through a single line by their English follower Geoffrey Chaucer, and up into the twentieth century in the writings of the American Ezra Pound (translator and interpretator of Cavalcanti), the Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges, the Lebanese Adonis and the French Jean-Pierre Faye.
