Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reformation and Renaissance: Circa 1377-1610 Having been asked to give some account of the two great revolutionary movements of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries from the standpoint of the old religion, I have attempted in the following pages to represent the various aspects of the Reformation and the Renaissance in their relation to the Catholic Church and to the world at large, endeavouring also to show that while they remained distinct forces they sometimes joined issues and played each other´s game. In the term Reformation I have included not only the violent measures employed by the enemies of the Church to overthrow authority that was coeval with Christianity, but also the long and more or less effectual efforts within the Church, prior to the Protestant schism, to combat existing abuses; and finally the universal post-Tridentine revival of Catholic life and work. The Renaissance - a movement far less capable of exact definition - was the development of many phases of human life. Even before the period when the fall of Constantinople flooded Europe with Greek monuments of learning, and classical letters exercised so great a fascination over the minds of scholars that nothing but the ancient world seemed to them any longer worthy of attention, the art of the Middle Ages was already ceasing to be a recognised vehicle for spreading Christian doctrine.
