Nicolo Machiavelli wrote a book called The Prince. It was a political book that gave advise to men ruling. In it Machiavelli tells them to be ruthless. He says the ends justify the means as long as you keep power and control. He says it is great for the people to love you if you can make it happen but at the end of the day it is much better to feared than loved. If you are feared, the people will not rebel. He says a good ruler is an abosolute ruler; one with total and utter power. Machiavelli was part of the Italian Renaissance.
"Politics have no relation to morals." - Machiavelli

Italy is the start of the Renaissance. The Crusades brought extreme interest in MIddle Eastern products. The more people traded the more banking such as credit, Arabic numbers, and usury came about. The Church was very against the idea of charging interest on money (usery). The Northern part of Italy, especially city -states like Genoe, Florence, and Venice started to break away further from the church. Goods from the Middle East hit their ports and flowed to the rest of Europe. They were getting rich and they were not interested in letting the Church get in the way.

Mona Lisa by Da Vinci (Italian Renaissance)
This work shows a woman posing for da Vinci. This may be the most recognizable art pieces in the world. Her expression is a mystery. Some people like to speculate that the Mona Lisa is da Vinci in drag. While there are some interesting resemblences, it is highly unlikely.

The David - Michelangelo (Italian Renaissance)
Michelangelo started this masterpiece when he was 25. He was given a left over piece of marble. His artwork was meant to be placed in a small corner. Instead he created this statute which stands almost 17 feet tall.
This statute represents David, a Biblical hero of the old testament. David beat the giant Galiath with just a slingshot. He also was a great leader of the Hebrews and his decents include Jesus of Narazeth.

This is a picture drawn by Da Vinci. Da Vinci is often called "The Renaissance Man" because he had interests in every topic. I use this picture because it is the symbol of the time period and a new movement called humanism.
Humanism IS NOT anti-religious. It is sometimes used that way but it is not supposed to be.
Humanism IS a focus on the effort of the individual and the person. In humanism, there was a return to Greco-Roman thought and the rejection of total submission to Church or other authorities like the medieval times.

He is the also the creator of the sonnet - a type of poem. Many of his were written about a young lady named Laura who we know little about.
Another Northern Renaissance writer by the name of Shakepeare will use these "sonnets".

Erasmus - Dutch humanist (Northern Renaissance)
Erasmus, like many Northern Renaissance humanists, mixed more Christianity is with his humanist ideas. He wrote a book called the Praise of Folly. His book was dedicated to his good friend Sir Thomas More.
His book poked fun at many people. He wanted badly to reform the church. However, he was not liked by the reformers or by the church.

Sir Thomas More
More wss from England (therefore Northern NOT Italian Renaissance). He wrote a book called Utopia. Utopia described a perfect society. In fact the word utopia now means perfect society.
More was an advisor to Henry VII. He came to a disagreement with Henry and the king took his life.

Gutenberg's Printing Press - Perhaps the World's Greatest Invention
Johannes Gutenburg made the 1st movable printing press. This made books cheaper and more widely available. This encouraged increased literacy rates among the people.
Previously reading and writing was often a church scholar's priveledge. Common people could not read and therefore were at the mercy of others to learn information. The printing press will lead to the Bible being printed in languages other than Latin - the Church language. For the first time people will be able to read and understand the Bible rather than relying on the Church to tell them what it said. A full Gutenberg Bible (the 1st book he printed) is worth more than $30 million.
