European history from the mid-14th to the mid-16th centuries produced remarkable artistic and intellectual achievements. While painters, sculptors and architects created a visual language that prevailed up to the present century, humanistic scholars explored the classical heritage and challenged the accepted thological and philosophical truths. Writers such as Machiavelli analyzed the nature and uses of princely power. Guttenberg's invention of the printing press made possible a dramatic growth in the availability of knowledge, whilst explorers such as da Gama and Columbus changed perceptions of the world itself, and Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler turned the Ptolemaic universe inside out. This book describes all facets of the Renaissance cultural landscape, and is enhanced by modern cartography.
