De' Bok,
Yes, there is a fairly good article on the topic. The article, written by Kohsul (1995) describes briefly Islamic impact on Western Civilization and how it is revisited and reconsidered according to the author's personal view.
The article was published in The American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences (Vol 12, (1), Spring 1995), pp.36-65.
Happy reading!
Cheers.
