TOPIC: HUMANISM NORTH OF THE ALPS

INTRODUCTION

The Northern Renaissance was the Renaissance that occurred in Europe north of the Alps. This
Social Humanism started by the work of the Hieronymians or Brothers of the Common Life, a
nonmonastic order founded in Holland. From the last years of the 15th century, its Renaissance spread
around Europe called the Northern Renaissance because it occurred north of the Italian Renaissance.
This period became the German, French, English, Low Countries, Polish Renaissances and in turn other
national and localized movements, each with different attributes. In the North, humanism entered into
the service of religious progress. German scholars were less brilliant and elegant, but more serious in
their purpose and more exact in their scholarship than their Italian predecessors and contemporaries.
North of the Alps attention was chiefly centered on the Old and New
Testaments. Greek and Hebrew were studied, not with the purpose of ministering to a cult of antiquity,
but to reach the fountains of the Christian system more adequately. In this way, preparation was made
for the work of the Protestant Reformation. This focus on translation was a feature of the Christian
humanists who helped to launch the new, post-scholastic era.
