12th Century Renaissance
About This Novel
The 12th century was a vibrant and dynamic era. Romanesque art reached its peak, Gothic art sprouted, vernacular literature flourished, Latin classics, Latin poetry and Roman law were revived, Greek science and Greek philosophy that absorbed Arab elements were revived, and the first European universities were founded. The book focuses on the twelfth-century Latin classics and their influence, new jurisprudence and more diverse historiography, new knowledge from the Greeks and Arabs and its impact on Western science and philosophy, and the rise of new institutions of scholarly research. We discovered that the Middle Ages were not as dark and static as imagined. The Middle Ages displayed life, color and change, the desire and pursuit of knowledge and beauty, as well as creative achievements in art, literature and social organization.
