Question

can anyone please give me some IMP. points about-MODERN AGE IN EUROPE,THE RENAISSANCE

Answer 1

Renaissance was a period of revival when Europe awoke from the sleep of a thousand years and the study of the Ancient World was pursued with a degree of enthusiasm that still reverberates today. It was from the dawn of this period that we date the earliest beginnings of the modern taste for collecting the autographs of great men and women. Petrarch, the 14th century Italian scholar, poet and humanist, was the prime initiator in the recovery of knowledge from the writers of Rome and Greece. To him belongs the credit for first embarking on the search for ancient manuscripts, a passion that he passed on to his friend, Bocaccio. Petrarch’s inquiring mind and love of Classical authors led him to travel, visiting learned men and searching monastic libraries everywhere for Classical manuscripts. He personally discovered the Institutes of Quintilian (a Roman treatise on the art of oratory that constitutes an exhaustive encyclopedia of Roman educational practices), and in 1345 made a startling discovery – a collection of Cicero’s letters not previously known to exist. This led him to decry the neglect of manuscripts in the millennium since Rome fell. “Each famous author of antiquity whom I recover,” he wrote, “places a new offence…to the charge of earlier generations, who, not satisfied with their own disgraceful barrenness, permitted the…writings that their ancestors had produced by toil and application, to perish through insufferable neglect. Although they had nothing of their own to hand down to those who were to come after, they robbed posterity
