Renaissance literally means ‘rebirth’. It thinkers believed the period between themselves and the fall of Rome. Renaissance can also refer to the period between 14th and 16th century.
Its was a dynamic era, infact there was a lot of changes, as: European explorers “finding” new continents; the decline of feudalism; scientific developments, as the Copernican system.
In this period there was also the invention of printing with movable type. The first printer book was theBible. The priting press was also developed, allowing Renaissance texts to be disseminated widely.
Classical culture had never totally vanished from Europe, and it experienced sporadic rebirths. Some historians argue that the Renaissance ended in the 1520s, some the 1620s. The Renaissance didn’t just stop, but its core ideas gradually converted into other forms, and new paradigms arose, particularly during the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century.
