I don%26#039;t, lol.





Ok, I%26#039;d put that I find it interesting because it was a time when literacy started to really spread. With the invention of the Gutenberg Press books no longer had to be copied by hand. This meant they were more numerous in number and therefore cheaper and more accessible to the average person.

It%26#039;s interesting because of all the cultural changes that were going on during that time period. (14th to the 17th century).





Everything was changing: literature, philosophy, art(artists started using emotion in art for the first time), politics, science, religion. Renaissance scholars studied ancient texts and culture, which had a profound impact on the change and the humanist method of thinking. So much learning was going on at the time.
