∙ 14y agoThe medieval period in Europe (roughly 500AD to 1500AD) is of interest as a bridge between the Ancient World and the world of today. The medieval people deliberately turned their back on the despotic, slave-based civilizations of the Mediterranean (Persia, Egypt, Greece and Rome). At their center was the family (idealized in the form of Jesus and his family) and some gainful employment. Among aspects of contemporary life which were first experimented with in the Middle Ages are banks, accounting, schools, hospitals, charities, sports and law courts.
The chronicle of medieval history concerns the struggles of various warlike tribes left at the end of the Roman Empire to turn themselves into stable nations. They all became integrated with a single religious culture - the Catholic Church. the fortunes of the various nations changed. In the beginning the wealth was in in the central region (Poland, Bohemia, Germany and Italy), but later countries with access to the Atlantic Ocean (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain and the Netherlands) became dominant.
The standard of medieval painting, architecture, literature and music is judged to be high. However the Christian faith was certainly a barrier in the development of medicine and science.
Because of the importance given to the smallest amount of personal property much information relating to taxes, inheritance, contracts and property deeds was written down. A large proportion exists today, which enables further discoveries to be made about medieval times now and into the future.

One of the key elements of renaissance thought was the idea that knowledge should be based on the direct study and evaluation of original source material instead of studying and comparing works about - or rewrites of - the source material, as was the scientific habit in the Middle Ages.Luther above all else emphasized that faith could only be based on the direct study and evaluation of the original Bible texts, just as Renaissance philosophers turned to what they considered the original source material, the writings of Greek and Roman philosophers.

Renaissance (litt.: "Rebirth") means the rebirth of the study and appreciation of the culture and knowledge of ancient Rome and Greece. People's outlook on life in general did not change that much, but within the cultural elite at the time - which then included almost all ruling courts in Europe - there was a jolt forward in knowledge (especially mathematics, astronomy and science) and art.
