The Renaissance is a fascinating time in World History, where
wonderful discoveries, innovations and philosophies took place, a
period where Europe woke up from the time of the Middle Ages
and began to move towards catching up with, and even surpass,
Muslim and Chinese civilizations. Behind this narrative is where
