Renaissance Humanism (jan 1, 1400 – jan 1, 1600)

Description:

Emerged in 14th-century Italy and spread across Europe by the 15th century. This period, roughly 1400 to 1600, is often referred to as the Renaissance, a "rebirth" of classical ideas. The term "humanism" itself wasn't coined until the 19th century, but it describes the Renaissance focus on studying ancient Greek and Roman literature and culture, emphasizing human potential and civic virtue.
