Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gentlemen Errant: Being the Journeys and Adventures of Four Noblemen in Europe During the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Europe was still her own chief school and training-ground. The Voyagers, a great and gallant company, were already opening both the new gates of the West and the ancient gates of the East to the desire and need of man; and their labours and perils were to bring to later generations, if not the Golden Age and Golden World of their dreams, at the least a spacious earth and a limitless horizon. But, in the days of the Renaissance, the small old continent of Europe still bound the skies of the most of her children. It was by dwelling in Europe´s courts, by fighting in Europe´s quarrels and by praying before Europe´s shrines, that the Complete Gentleman of every nation left ´shapeless idleness´ and graduated in the arts of life. Thus he perfected his chivalry and thus he practised his religion; thus, if poor, he earned his livelihood and thus, if rich, he spent his patrimony; and, if of high estate, he furthered thus either his master´s business or his own. In this way, too, he won strange and chequered wisdom, and in this way he not seldom lost such scanty book-learning as he might chance to possess.
