  1. Warm Up • Using the yellow sheet and the people in your group – number the renaissance inventions in order of their importance from 1 (being the most important) to 12 (being the least important). Be prepared to share why you find your #1 to be most important.

  7. Effects: Religion • Helped spread Catholicism • Spread great opposition to the Church and spurred new ideas about religion. • Printing of dissenting viewpoints, such as Martin Luther • Printing of the Gutenberg Bible • Once people could now own their own Bible they felt that they could develop their own relationship with God

  8. Gutenberg Bibles http://burton.byu.edu/Bible%20Site/Gutenberg.htm

  9. Effects: Science • Allowed for the spreading of new scientific information • Helped to spread The Scientific Revolution • Cumulative advance of knowledge http://galileo.rice.edu/images/things/hevelius_telescope.gif

  10. Effects: Intellectual Thought • Means of permanently recording information and transmitting it to others • Aided in the growth of science Information not as easily lost as in the past Increased access to scientific thought Allowed new ideas to be spread more easily and rapidly http://www.retrogarde.net/post/21366425493/copernicus-and-the-renaissance

  11. Effects: Language • Standardized language • As print becomes more common the dialect and spelling conventions that made their way into print become the standard. • First books written in classical languages (Greek and Latin), but soon books written in vernacular languages (English, French, German, etc.) http://www.accentedanm.com/images/Text/tfc_renaissance.gif

  12. Effects: Social Classes • Before the printing press there is only an upper class and a lower class. • Upper class (nobility) • Buy expensive hand-written books • Pay for tutors • Send their sons to schools http://www.mrdowling.com/704-social.html

  13. Effects: Social Classes • When books become less expensive and more affordable from mass production on printing presses, the lower class • Began to gain access to knowledge http://www.reconstructinghistory.com/articles/18th-century-articles/a-quilted-wool-petticote.html

  14. Effects: Social Classes • The printing press contributed to the growth of a middle class. • As books were published, people wanted to learn to read. Reading led to thinking, to further publication, and communication with others. The first “World Wide Web” had arrived. • With knowledge, education, and money, the middle-class gained the tools they needed to win more rights from the upper class.

  16. Let’s Think About… • What invention of the 20th – 21st century has had as great an impact as the printing press of the Renaissance?
