- jschveibinz 1y agoI'm reading Palmer's book right now, and I'm enjoying her informal style. A lot of what I thought I knew about the Renaissance has been brought into question by this book. Thumbs up!
- jleyank 1y agoWay too dense to read but earlier authors (including james Burke on video) pointed out that much of the Greek/ancient knowledge rediscovered in the renaissance came through Umayyad Spain where Jewish, Muslim and Christians interacted, translated and propagated old knowledge.
