Scholary intrest in the study of the classical cultures of Greece and Rome.
The movement of humanism was set in motion by the Renaissance, particularly in Italy during the 14th and 15th centuries. Humanism emphasized the importance of human values, ethics, and individualism, as well as the study of classical literature, art, and philosophy. This cultural shift had a significant influence on art, literature, education, and social thought during the Renaissance and beyond.
The scholars who devoted themselves to the study of ancient Roman texts in Latin and ancient Greek texts were the humanists. The father of humanism was Petrarch who advocated the study of Latin literature and rhetoric. He lived in the 14th century, before the beginning of the Renaissance. Originally the humanists only studied Roman texts as no one could read Greek and knowledge of Greek works had been lost. The learning of ancient Greek and ancient Greek texts followed the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Many Greek scholars went to Italy, taught Greek and the study of Greek texts. The main effect of this was the revival of ancient Greek philosophy.
Humanism as a cultural and intellectual movement emerged during the Renaissance period in the 14th century in Italy. It was characterized by a focus on human potential, achievements, and dignity, as well as a resurgence of interest in classical Greek and Roman literature, philosophy, and art.
