Humanism and the Culture of Renaissance Europe
This new textbook provides students with a highly readable synthesis of the major determining features of the European Renaissance, one of the most influential cultural revolutions in history. Professor Nauert's approach is broader than the traditional focus on Italy, and tackles the themes in the wider European context. He traces the origins of the humanist 'movement' and connects it to the social and political environments in which it developed. In a tour-de-force of lucid exposition over six wide-ranging chapters, Nauert charts the key intellectual, social, educational and philosophical concerns of this humanist revolution, using art and biographical sketches of key figures to illuminate the discussion. The study also traces subsequent transformations of humanism and its solvent effect on intellectual developments in the late Renaissance.
Humanism and the Culture of Renaissance Europe
The updated second edition of a highly readable synthesis of the major determining features of the Renaissance.
In Laudem Caroli
Varied essays by current and former students and colleagues of Charles Nauert reflect many of his scholarly and academic interests.
Humanism and Renaissance Civilization
The essays collected in this volume represent many years of Professor Nauert's research and teaching on the history of Renaissance humanism, and more particularly on humanism north of the Alps. Much of the early work involved the significant but often-overlooked history of humanism at the University of Cologne, notoriously the most anti-humanist of the German universities. Later essays deal with the most famous humanist of the early sixteenth century, Erasmus of Rotterdam, and natural philosophy, a broad term covering many subjects now associated with natural science, is the topic of three of the pieces published here. Taken as a whole, the book presents a detailed study of intellectual development among European elites.

Contemplation of Created Things
"It has long been a scholarly commonplace that Milton's scientific knowledge was outmoded, based on medieval, teleological sources. Harinder Singh Marjara's purpose in this study is to show that in writing Paradise Lost Milton was working very much within the mainstream of contemporary seventeenth-century scientific thinking; that his universe is both coherent and distinctively his own, dependent on his poetic needs, integrated with the themes and structures of his epic poem." "Together the three parts of Marjara's study--the Ways of Science, the Physical Universe in Paradise Lost, and Milton's Philosophy of Nature--treat a broad band of questions at issue in the writings of a large spectrum...
