The origins of humanism By Nicholas Mann

This chapter will Endeavour to trace the main features of that continuity from its apparent beginning in the ninth century to the end of the fourteenth century-a period in which scholarly interest was focused, but by no means exclusively, on Roman culture and Latin literature.”
I found the information really fascinating and believable. In general, this article refers to Mann defining humanism as “concert with the legal of Ambiguity” involving not only a rediscovery of classic Latin and Greek texts and languages, but also the values that scholars found in them. For the Writer, the beginning of humanism goes back to the Carolingian Renaissances of the eighth and ninth century, arising again in the XX century France, while not totally disappearing in the interim from major monasteries, such as that at Monte cassino. The argument was effective, for the reason that he supports his statement. I do believe that Mr Mann provides a specific thesis. The argument was presented understandably, because the writer provides outstanding background information. In addition, I do believe that the author did an admirable job with this analysis by his conclusion supporting his argument.
