Sample Test Questions SAMPLE QUESTION 5. At last it seems to be that I have come to understand why man is the most fortunate of all creatures and consequently worthy of all admiration…. The nature of all other beings is limited…. Imagine! The great generosity of God! The happiness of man! To man it is allowed to be whatever he chooses to be! Pico dellaMirandola, Oration on the Dignity of Man, 1486 From the passage, one may infer that Pico believed that humankind was unique because human beings have a soul human beings know that they will die it is possible for human beings to go to heaven the potential of the human being is unlimited
Sample Question Refer to the following passage for the next three questions [Considering the origin of] grace, I find one universal rule concerning it, which seems to me worth more in this matter than any other in all things human that are done or said: and that is to avoid affectation to the uttermost and as it were a very sharp and dangerous rock; and, to use possibly a new word, to practice in everything a certain nonchalance [sprezzatura] that shall conceal design and show that what is done and said is done without effort and almost without thought. From this I believe grace is in large measure derived, because everyone knows the difficulty of those things that are rare and done well, and therefore facility in them excites the highest admiration. [And] I wish to discuss another matter, which I deem of great importance and therefore think our Courtier ought by no means to omit: and this is to know how to draw and to have acquaintance with the very art of painting…. And truly he who does not esteem this at, seems to me very unreasonable;… [For] the ancients greatly prized both the art and the artists, which thus attained the summit of highest excellence; very sure proof of which may be found in the antique marble and bronze statues that yet are seen….. Baldesar Castiglione, The Book of the Courtier, 1508-1513 1. The passage is indicative of the “princely ideal” of the late Renaissance, because • it promotes individual achievement • it is by the author of The Prince • it describes the manner in which a prince should behave • it focuses on the value of personal achievement for individual success rather than the civic good 2. The passage can be said to illustrate the transformation of traditional values into Renaissance values, because • it stresses the pursuit of excellence • it extols the virtue of skill in the visceral arts (intellectual) rather than the martial arts (fighting) • it stresses the changing of social status of the artist • it values grace 3. The passage illustrates the values of Renaissance humanism, because • it instructs the individual to pay attention to personal appearance • it argues that reason should be the measure of all things • it looks to the ancients for guidance in matters of taste and accomplishment • it encourages all men to aspire to be Courtiers
Short Answer practice Historians have sometimes referred to the Renaissance era as the start of a modern history. 1. Provide TWO pieces of evidence to support this characterization of this period and explain how they support it. 2. Provide ONE specific piece of evidence that undermines this characterization of this time period, and explain how it undermines it.
