  6. V. The ideal so-called Renaissance man was successful in business, well-mannered, educated, athletic, and brave. • A. The goal of education became making people well-rounded. • B. Religion remained important, but the authority and some practices of the church began to be questioned.

  7. Gutenberg Bible • The three-volume Latin text arguably represents the greatest single innovation in the history of communication technology, as well as a style of printing that existed almost unaltered until the twentieth century. • Gutenberg’s invention and the dispersion of relatively cheap printed materials ultimately stimulated enormous change—social, political, economic, and religious.

  8. A. Leanardo da Vinci (1452-1519) painted (Mona Lisa), studied geology, chemistry and anatomy, designed buildings, canals and weapons, and sketched engines and flying machines.

  9. B. Michelangelo Buonaroti (1475-1564) painted (the Sistine Chapel ceiling), sculptured (David), designed buildings, and wrote poetry.

  14. Edward VI (1537-1553)Tudor Crowned at 9 and dead by 15, he never truly “ruled” but his father’s closest advisors continued on with his plans, notably regarding the new state religion.
