Abstract: Abstract As the sixteenth century dawned, extraordinary changes affected the whole of Europe. For some 200 years, the Renaissance had driven thought in Italy. Now, it flourished in a revival of the traditions of ancient Greece and Rome (Churchill, A history of the English-speaking peoples: The New World, p. 3, 1956). Literature, philosophy, and art opened up under classical inspiration and a new era of questioning and critical thinking emerged. The development of printing from 1450 onwards facilitated the spread of this new knowledge.
