What to Focus On

  • European towns grew strongly from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century.

  • Trade helped revive Italian ports and cities.
  • Renaissance means rebirth.
  • Jacob Burckhardt strongly shaped the modern idea of the Renaissance.

  • Humanism valued individual ability and decision-making.
  • Petrarch stressed close reading of classical authors.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Renaissance was simply a sudden rebirth that broke completely with the past.

Humanism meant worship of human beings and rejection of religion.

Petrarch was just another poet, not important for the development of humanist learning.
