Présentation de l'éditeur
Christian influence, and illuminated by authors whose originality had not yet been equalled and whose love of liberty can never be surpassed, was thrown open to men and women who had hitherto read scarcely any books not written in support of popes and kings. Study of the Latin classics had been much encouraged during the latter half of the fourteenth century by Petrarch and Boccaccio. Italy soon abounded in scholars who were busy in expounding and translating the ancient masterpieces. Many books by Cicero, Tacitus, Lucretius and other great thinkers, were unearthed in monastic libraries, where the amount of ancient literature which was preserved was small in proportion to what had perished needlessly, or been wantonly de stroyed. Little was known about Greek in western Europe except by isolated students like Heloise and Bacon before the closing years of the fourteenth century, when the language of Plato and Aristotle was taught in Florence.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating and comprehensive exploration of freedom's progress throughout history. It examines how a sudden and rapid growth of interest in classic literature during the 15th century marked a significant step forward. It was during this time that people began to read widely beyond religious texts, opening their minds to new ideas and perspectives. The book delves into the role of universities in fostering this intellectual growth and examines the impact of the Reformation on the struggle for tolerance and religious freedom. It is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of liberty and the ongoing fight for human rights. It sheds light on the long and arduous journey toward a more just and equitable world, reminding us of the power of ideas and the importance of protecting freedom of thought and expression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
