Notes	The ancient Monastery of St. Catherine was built in the sixth century AD by order of Emperor Justinian in response to a request from the monks of Mount Sinai to build a safe place for them to worship, as well as for a defensive purpose to secure the borders of his vast empire. The monastery enjoys the support and interest of all Christian sects around the world. Although the monastery was built in the Byzantine period and received the sympathy and attention of the state in that period, it owes its spread of mention and importance to the world level. During the Islamic period, the area of the monastery expanded during the Islamic era and gained the attention of many aspects of the Christian world, and its mention spread throughout the world, taking advantage of the tolerance shown by the Muslim rulers towards its members in the practice of their rituals. This led to a race by Christian and Islamic European authorities and countries to donate to the monastery on many occasions many antiques transported from different raw materials. It is noted on many of these pieces that the Islamic spirit of decoration and Islamic arts was widespread, and this was due to the spread of Islamic arts in many European regions across the world. Areas of cultural contact between Arab and Western civilizations, in addition to the expansion of the Islamic conquests carried out by the Ottomans in Western Europe. This research will focus on reviewing some of the movable antiques preserved in the monastery that were made in different regions of Europe specifically for the monastery and given to it, and will explain the Islamic decorations and influences that were on them, which is evidence of the universality of Islamic arts and their spread between the regions of the West and the East.
