I am not aware of any Sephardic Jews's shot ahead.

As to European culture shot ahead starting with the Renaissance, I
suspect that the "extremism" of christianism, in comparison with Islam
and Hebraism, generated with time a stronger reaction from the
cultural background than, say, Islam did in India, leading to a
quicker and more radical emancipation of philosophy and science from
monotheistic darkness.
