Optional Short Writing Assignment What are the distinctives of the northern Renaissance? Two or three of the writers that you are reading this week (Erasmus, Durer, Paracelsus, Thomas a Kempis, Lefevre d’Etaples, and Vesalius) are chatting outside the heavenly gates waiting to be admitted. As they burnish their CVs for careful screening from Saint Peter, they discuss among themselves what they accomplished on earth as part of this Renaissance movement north of the Alps. Recreate this conversation. It is encouraged that you do a bit of research on these figures. Try the Encylopedia of the Renaissance (reference collection in the library). 1-2 pages.
