Answer 2

Explanation:

The term ‘renaissance’ means re-birth or revival. The four­teenth and fifteenth centuries are known as period of Renaissance when many educated men turned from religious speculation to the study of ancient Greek and Roman writers and challenged the religious and philo­sophical teachings of the medieval church.

They were not satisfied with the study of the medieval translations of the famous writers of ancient Greece and took to the study of the original Greek works of Plato, Aris­totle and others.

They also searched the monasteries for old Latin manu­scripts and translated many hitherto unknown works from Greek antiquity to Latin. In short these writers tried to induce classical learning into the main stream of the western thought. It may be observed that this period there was not only revival of interest in Greek literature but also in classi­cal architecture and sculpture.
