Document Summary
Lecture 4 outline - the renaissance & reformation. The renaissance begins in italy & then spreads all across europe. Why is niccol machiavelli"s the prince (1513) significant? (he was a person who criticized everything) it was used by future rulers as a guide on how to obtain power and maintain control over their subjects. Johannes gutenberg perfects (completes) the use of moveable type. He prefects the use of moveable type but was not the person who invented it. The protestant reformation begins w/ the dutch humanist desiderius erasmus. The philosophy of christ= one should live their life such as jesus christ did. German prince frederick the wise collects 5,000+ religious relics & attaches indulgences to these. A remission of the punishment due to sin the guilt which has been forgiven. Martin luther nails his ninety-five theses on wittenberg"s church door (1517) in protest.
