At first glance, the Renaissance and the Reformation--two movements (one cultural, one religious) that defined Europe from 1400 to 1600--may appear to be polar opposites. The Renaissance found scholars and artists celebrating the beauty and splendor of the material world, while the Reformation saw Protestant and Catholic religious leaders and their followers focusing on eternal salvation. However, there were actually striking similarities between these two worlds. For instance, while both Renaissance artists and Reformation pastors originally desired a return to a "golden age" of the past, they both ended up creating something very new instead.In The Renaissance and Reformation, Merry Wiesner-Hanks allows the historical participants to tell their own stories. She presents a mix of visual sources and written documents not only from learned scholars, trained artists, university-educated religious reformers, and powerful political leaders--but also from more ordinary men and women. Leonardo da Vinci considers the merits of painting versus poetry in his notebook, while the Italian diplomat Baldassar Castiglione recommends the pastime of music-making to gentlemen in his book The Courtier. A group of small-time investors signs a contract for a trading venture from Genoa to Corsica and Sardinia, and a wealthy Florentine widow writes a letter to her son, weighing his ability to start a new business. A picture essay uses individual and family portraits to discuss ideas about personality, temperament, and "genius"; social differences in marital patterns; and changes in family relationships. Wiesner-Hanks places events in Europe in a global context, allowing readers to examine the ways in which they were related to the voyages of exploration.

Product Description: (VIIIe-XVIe siècles).Combien de Renaissances⦠? Une seule â celle qui débute à la fin du XIVe siècle en Italie et touche la France au XVIe siècle â, autrement dit "la" Renaissance ? Ou bien celle-ci at-elle été précédée de Renaissances médiévales, en particulier à lâépoque carolingienne et au XIIe siècle ? Plus généralement, peut-on affirmer lâunicité de la Renaissance ou doit-on au contraire envisager lâexistence dâune pluralité de Renaissances à travers les époques et les cultures, ou encore faut-il mettre en question le concept même de Renaissance, aussi confortable que trompeur en regard dâune réalité nécessairement plus complexe ?Il sâagit ici de croiser les points de vue de spécialistes du Moyen Ãge et de la Renaissance sur ces questions, en particulier par la confrontation de leur perception à celle des contemporains des époques concernées...read more

Among the most fully studied figures of Christian antiquity was Saint Jerome. Eugene Rice's award-winning book traces the saint's changing images and fortunes from 1300 to 1600 and charts how culture-- popular and elite, secular and sacred, pietistic and scholarly-- celebrated those aspects of Jerome's life that best suited its own purposes...read more
