Was the Greek Enlightenment a vehicle for the ideas of the scientific revolution?

Abstract

The paper presents how the spreading of the knowledge of the so called
“scientific revolution” which occurred in the Greek-language Colleges of the
Ottoman Empire at the times of the Greek Enlightenment (after the last
quarter of the 18th century), was prepared from the beginning of this century.
Indeed, a number of Greek scholars were familiar with this new knowledge
—or “new science” as called by them— already from the beginning of the 18th
century, as they came in contact with that science in the European countries
where they studied or visited. But, mainly for ideological reasons, these
scholars presented to their Greek-speaking pupils only the “Greek science”,
that means scientific knowledge prior to the scientific revolution, in order to
revive that science in the country where it originated.
