121. Exhibits Collection -- Renaissance Interactive guide for students to explore the renaissance, especially in Italy. http://www.learner.org/exhibits/renaissance/

Teachers' Lab The goal of the Teachers' Lab is to provide teachers and educators with a deeper understanding of commonly taught math and science concepts. Many of the Labs are based upon professional development workshops broadcast on the Annenberg/CPB Channel "Renaissance," French for "rebirth," perfectly describes the intellectual and economic changes that occurred in Europe from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries. During the era known by this name, Europe emerged from the economic stagnation of the Middle Ages and experienced a time of financial growth. Also, and perhaps most importantly, the Renaissance was an age in which artistic, social, scientific, and political thought turned in new directions. Join us as we explore the Renaissance and discover the forces that drove this rebirth in Europe, and in Italy in particular. "Renaissance" is inspired by programs from

Twilit Grotto: Archives of Western Esoterica New books Our CD Top 20 In 1453, Constantinople fell to the Turks, ending the Byzantine empire. This date also marks the beginning of the Renaissance, since the waves of Greek refugees spread knowledge of Greek throughout Europe. Included with the newly available Greek manuscripts were the Corpus Hermetica, Plotinus, and the works of the Neoplatonists. Shortly thereafter in 1492, Isabella and Ferdinand expelled the Jews from Spain. This sent waves of Jewish refugees throughout Europe, spreading knowledge of Hebrew and of the Kabbalah. Renaissance philosophers sought to integrate these traditions with the view of unifying the rapidly disintegrating religious factions and also ending the constant political strife. Thus they are the forerunners or prophets of the Rosicrucian and Illuminati movements.

133. E-Ren: Student Projects Discusses the technological, commercial and political reasons for the increase in mathematical development during this period. http://www.idbsu.edu/courses/hy309/projects/math.html

Lesson Plan: Renaissance Mathematics by Juan Wang Spring Semester, 1993 I. Thesis of the lesson. This lesson intends to present public school students a brief history of the progress of mathematics during the Renaissance. The lesson will combine an introduction to Renaissance mathematical developments with an explanation of its interactions with social influences of the time. Hopefully students will have a fresh understanding of the Renaissance period from this particular perspective. II. Introduction The development of mathematics almost stopped between the fourteenth century and the first half of the fifteenth century. Many social factors contributed to this situation. The ten years of the dreadful Black Death devastated Europe in the mid- fourteenth century. This caused nearly half of the population to die. The plague greatly distracted peoples' minds from the pursuit of knowledge. The Hundreds Years War between England and France (1337-1453) also created general instability in Europe. Partly because of these tragedies, the earlier Renaissance period suffered a general economic recession. Faced with such an unfavorable social and economic environment, the learned world could hardly devote its energy to intellectual development. The growth of mathematics was not only retarded by war, but also by the injurious influence of traditional scholastic philosophy. The scholastic scholars highly valued studies in the humanities, such as philosophy and literature. Students enthusiastically spent their energies on Aristotle's logic and philosophy. The intellectual leaders of those times also quarrelled over subtle subjects in metaphysics and theology. Useless questions, such as "How many angels can stand on the point of a needle?" was the kind of topic which attracted scholars' interests. The study of mathematics was given minimal attention. Mathematicians could hardly receive respect from scholars of other disciplines. There were few jobs in universities for mathematicians. At some universities, the curriculum requirement of mathematical learning had not changed for almost two centuries since the fourteenth.

136. Ancient Rome And English Renaissance Theatre The two matters considered in depth are the relationship between the design of performance arenas in Elizabethan England and those of Ancient Rome, and Early Modern Plays with a Roman theme. http://www.pricejb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Rome/Rome1.html

ANCIENT ROME AND ENGLISH RENAISSANCE THEATRE The Renaissance is perhaps most commonly associated with Italian culture of 1350-1500; this perception owes much to a book by Jacob Burckhardt published in 1860 entitled The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy . In this pioneering text of cultural history, Burckhardt set out what he saw as the defining features of the Renaissance; the development of the city-state founded on principles of reflection and reason, the emergence of Renaissance Man (l'homme universal) who was an individual rather than the product of a corporate identity and, as discussed above, the revival of antiquity through the growth of humanism and a re-engagement with studies of the cultures of classical societies. These ideas remain the subject of much debate, but there is no doubt they have had a wide influence which can readily be discerned in orthodox cultural histories. See, for example the web based The Western Tradition . Burckhardt did not deal in any detail with England, suggesting that the native genius of Italians was a crucial feature in Renaissance culture, but subsequent scholarship has taken a broader view, finding in the literary output of English writers in the period 1500-1650 strong evidence of a 'Renaissance of Letters', a rebirth of learning stimulated by classical forms and ideas and mediated by the application of the ideas of Italian humanists. This period, often referred to as 'The English Renaissance', is largely covered by the Tudor and Stuart reigns and is neatly book-ended by the Wars of the Roses and the English Civil War.

140. Lords Of The Renaissance - Board Game Review Contains review, official errata, variant and strategic analysis. http://spotlightongames.com/review/lotrrev.html

Lords of the Renaissance A Review June 20, 1996 Facts: Lords of the Renaissance brought to us by designer Phil Eklund and Sierra Madre Games in 1995, explores the question of how far a game can go on atmosphere. More on that later. First the facts: Full color map, 17"x24", stretching from England to the Levant 316 single color counters (must be cut out) 238 single color cards (must be cut out) 12 playing mats on ordinary paper 23 pages of rules including historical background (5 pages), index and example of play For 2-12 players Game is packaged in a zip-loc bag The area map is printed on heavy paper and serviceable apart from the small areas, especially in France, where it can sometimes be tricky to clarify which area an army is in, especially when there is a city within the area. (The map is divided, by folds, into eight panels. I have color photocopied each of these panels at 183% enlargement to create a very nice looking and functional map.) Counters are printed on thin cardboard. It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish red from orange counters. Object: The time period is 1460 to 1499. Each player starts as the Duke of his European duchy, operating a Bank or merchant company speculating in the silk trade and acting as a military or financial advisor to one of the great empires (England, Aragon, Papal States, Holy Roman, France, or Ottoman). The point is to get silk, from its depot at Azov on the Black Sea in the corner of the map, to your Bank which is somewhere in Europe, not necessarily in your home duchy. With money thus earned, the player may fund new ventures, the eventual object being to have the most money in personal treasury by the end of the game. The game ends at a predetermined time or for players who wish to avoid the famous "End-of-the-World Syndrome", an optional rules provides for a dice roll to check for a variable ending. Most games seem to run three or four hours, though diehards could probably easily go on for twelve.
