Renaissance Timeline
he Renaissance was a cultural, scholarly and socio-political movement which stressed the rediscovery and application of texts and thought from classical antiquity. This timeline lists some major works of culture alongside important political events, however, the roots of the Renaissance go back a few centuries at least, and this page covers the traditional period. Modern historians are stretching it back all the time. We also have an Introduction to the Renaissance, a look at the Causes of the Renaissance, and pieces on Renaissance Humanism and Printing.
