The expulsion of Jews was followed closely by the Renaissance

The Renaissance was spurred on by the fall of Constantinople and the subsequent spreading of Greek artists to Italy.

>map shows Jews were not expelled from Florence

>>17842499 (OP) Did they came back? Why did the Renaissance die?

If you were kicked out of 109 restaraunts would they be at fault?

>>17842499 (OP)
And Black Death, OP. The interesting thing is that the oldest expulsion according to this map was in Crimea, where if I'm not mistaken the Mongols were launching contaminated dead bodies in catapults.

The anti-"-pagan" legislation and pogroms started in earnest in the 4th century CE.
The mass exile of "hellenists" started in the 7th century CE, and encompassed the entirety of the empire.
By 11th century CE, it was a crime to even be in possession of banned literature, including Aristotle, Democritus, Heraclitus, Diodorus, Zeno.
By the 14th century, anyone following the model of Megasthenes and Eratosthenes, with regard to the Spherical earth "hypothesis" was penalized, arrested, or executed.
By the 16th century, herbalists, naturalists, and misc pagans were executed en masse on stakes, by burning.

>At a date often cited as the end of Antiquity, the emperor Justinian closed the school in 529. The last Scholarch of the Academy was Damascius (d. 540). According to Agathias, its remaining members looked for protection under the rule of Sassanid king Khosrau I in his capital at Ctesiphon, carrying with them precious scrolls of literature and philosophy, and to a lesser degree of science. After a peace treaty between the Persian and the Byzantine empire in 532, their personal security (an early document in the history of freedom of religion) was guaranteed

>It has been speculated that the Academy did not altogether disappear. After his exile, Simplicius (and perhaps some others) may have travelled to Harran, near Edessa. From there, the students of an Academy-in-exile could have survived into the 9th century, long enough to facilitate an Arabic revival of the Neoplatonist commentary tradition in Baghdad, beginning with the foundation of the House of Wisdom in 832; one of the major centers of learning in the intervening period (6th to 8th centuries) was the Academy of Gundishapur in Sassanid Persia

>By far the most famous of these two are the Sabians of Harran, adherents of a Hellenized Semitic polytheistic religion that had managed to survive during the early Islamic period in the Upper Mesopotamian city of Harran. They were described by Syriac Christian heresiographers as star worshippers. Most of the scholars and courtiers working for the Abbasid and Buyid dynasties in Baghdad during the ninth–eleventh centuries who were known as 'Sabians' were either members of this Harranian religion or descendants of such members, most notably the Harranian astronomers and mathematicians Thabit ibn Qurra (died 901) and al-Battani (died 929). There has been some speculation on whether these Sabian families in Baghdad, on whom most of our information about the Harranian Sabians indirectly depends, may have practiced a different, more philosophically inspired variant of the original Harranian religion. However, apart from the fact that it contains traces of Babylonian and Hellenistic religion, and that an important place was taken by planets (to whom ritual sacrifices were made), little is known about Harranian Sabianism. They have been variously described by scholars as (neo)-Platonists, Hermeticists, or Gnostics, but there is no firm evidence for any of these identifications

The Sabians of Harran are the key group to the transmission of Greek texts to Syriac to Arabic and subsequently to Europe in the Renaissance.

>Neoplatonism ostensibly survived in the Eastern Christian Church as an independent tradition and was reintroduced to the West by Pletho (c.1355 – 1452/1454), an avowed pagan and opponent of the Byzantine Church, inasmuch as the latter, under Western scholastic influence, relied heavily upon Aristotelian methodology. Plethon's Platonic revival, following the Council of Florence (1438–1439), largely accounts for the renewed interest in Platonic philosophy which accompanied the Renaissance

That sounds highly improbable.
