    Study Notes

    Renaissance

    • The Renaissance was a period of cultural change, beginning in Italy in the 1300s and spreading through Europe.
    • It literally means "rebirth" due to its emphasis on ancient Greek and Roman culture.
    • Key characteristics included artistic creativity, political, social, economic, and cultural change, and a renewed focus on classical learning.
    • Two distinct periods: Italian (1300-1600) and Northern (1450-1600).
    • Florence, a prominent Italian city-state, was a republic with a powerful merchant class and influential Medici family.
    • Humanism, a focus on human potential rather than divine matters, influenced education and artistic expression.
    • Patrons supported artists, writers, and institutions, enabling the flourishing of creativity.
    • The printing revolution, with Johannes Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, made books more accessible and cheaper, leading to a wider dissemination of information.

    Cause of the Renaissance and their Effects on the Reformation

    • Humanism's focus on human experience and critical thinking, and the printing press's role in wider knowledge dissemination, laid a foundation for challenges to the Catholic Church's authority.
    • Corruption within the Church, poor clergy education, and political influence fueled calls for reform.
    • Local rulers' increased power challenged the Church's influence.
    • These factors contributed to the Reformation.
