reading will be to gain a firm grasp of what the Renaissance and Humanism were
in their origins and height in Italy, what the movement became by the late
fifteenth century, as Northern Europeans adopted the movement, and how the
Renaissance and Humanism interacted with the Reformations during the early
sixteenth century.
