so the topic seems to have sowed confusion........... i am more woundering about direct contact.. not copying a item for taste or seeing a technique and reproducing it,, but actual persons from one region working in another..
for exsample the mongols aquiring catholic monks for making mechnical machines and cannons and such in their eastern empire..
so monks from europe were taken to china and there they transfered their knowlage directly..
what i would wounder was the frequency of this happening in european lands...........
