- Abstract
Many scholars remain sceptical of the idea that the Islamicate world played a foundational role in the medieval French literary tradition. Even as one can point to vectors of movement including pilgrimage, crusade, merchant caravans, and itinerant performers, it is impossible to identify specific moments and locations when stories were told. This lack of data has historically been the cause of heated debates about questions of influence. In this contribution, we propose an approach using computer simulations to model the ways that texts and ideas could have moved across geographical spaces, political systems, and religious and linguistic divides.
