Glossary Balance of power: a distribution of power among several states such that no single nation can dominate or interfere with the interests of another. Civic humanism: an intellectual movement of the Italian Renaissance that saw Cicero, who was both an intellectual and a statesman, as the ideal and held that humanists should be involved in government and use their rhetorical training in the service of the state. Condottieri: leaders of bands of mercenary soldiers in Renaissance Italy who sold their services to the highest bidder. Hermeticism: an intellectual movement beginning in the fifteenth century that taught that divinity is embodied in all aspects of nature; included works on alchemy and magic as well as theology and philosophy. The tradition continued into the seventeenth century and influenced many of the leading figures of the Scientific Revolution. Humanism: an intellectual movement in Renaissance Italy based upon the study of the Greek and Roman classics. Neoplatonism: a revival of Platonic philosophy. In the third century a.d., a revival associated with Plotinus; in the Italian Renaissance, a revival associated with Marsilio Ficino who attempted to synthesize Christianity and Platonism. Nepotism: showing favoritism to relatives; common practice among the Renaissance popes. New monarchies: the governments of France, England, and Spain at the end of the fifteenth century, where the rulers were successful in reestablishing or extending centralized royal authority, suppressing the nobility, controlling the church, and insisting upon the loyalty of all peoples living in their territories. Patricians: economic elites who derived their incomes for capitalistic ventures and dominated urban communities during the Renaissance. Chapter 12 Recovery and Rebirth: The Age of the Renaissance 223 Renaissance: the “rebirth” of classical culture that occurred in Italy between c. 1350 and c. 1550; also, the earlier revivals of classical culture that occurred under Charlemagne and in the twelfth century.

Was it just of direct importance to the small elite part of the urban population, or was there possibly some “trickle down” to lower social groups? 2. Assign students parts of Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier. Have them determine what Renaissance courtly manners are still evident in society today. 3. Assign students parts of Machiavelli's The Prince. Have them find evidence of Machiavelli's prince in world rulers today. 4. Have students do an essay on a Renaissance painter of their choice. The student should write about the artist's life, most famous paintings, and the characteristics of the painter's art. 5. Have students pick a Renaissance Pope and do a short essay on the life of that pope, showing the contributions of the pontiff to the decline of the Catholic Church. 6. Have students discuss or debate the question: Renaissance Art, Revolution or Evolution? 224 Recovery and Rebirth: The Age of the Renaissance Chapter 12 See online simulations and At the Movies activities in the Western Civilization Resource Center at www.wadsworth.com/history.

Document Based Questions Directions: The following question is based on the listed documents, available on the corresponding pages in your textbook. Some of the documents have been edited or excerpted. You will be graded based upon the Advanced Placement European History standards for Document Based Questions (DBQs). According to the College Board, DBQs are designed to test your ability to: …understand some of the principal themes in modern European history, analyze historical evidence and historical interpretation, and express historical understanding in writing. Chapter 12 Recovery and Rebirth: The Age of the Renaissance 225 Part A: Answer the questions that pertain to each document. The questions are designed to help build your understanding of the documents and develop your ability to analyze documents during the beginning of the course. Some of the questions ask you to utilize knowledge outside of the documents. Although you are not required to use outside knowledge on the exam, outside historical context may earn you a higher score. The Advanced Placement examination and DBQs in later chapters will not contain these questions. Part B: The Advanced Placement examination will require you to write an essay based on a series of documents. You will see the following instructions on the examination: Write an essay that: Has a relevant thesis and supports that thesis with evidence from the documents. Uses a majority of the documents. Analyzes the documents by grouping them in as many appropriate ways as possible. Does not simply summarize the documents individually. Takes into account both the sources of the documents and the authors’ points of view. You may refer to relevant historical information not mentioned in the documents. Question: Using the documents and illustrations, assess the growing secularism during the Renaissance. To what extent did the Renaissance make a secular break with the past? Background: While many intellectuals of the Renaissance already saw their era as consciously breaking with the Medieval past to create a new secular humanism, Europe during the Renaissance was still very tied to the Catholic Church.

Document: Petrarch: Mountain Climbing and the Search for Spiritual Contentment Why did Petrarch climb the mountain? What did he discover once he had reached the mountain’s peak?
