We’ll also evaluate developments in the Church such as the Great Schism between the West and East, the Gregorian Reform Movement, and new paths to spirituality (Franciscans, Dominicans, Beguines, etc) and explain contemporaneous cultural aspects of the 12th Century Renaissance. By the end of the class, students will also understand the ramifications of the Black Death, the Hundred Years’ War, and humanistic expressions in Italy and Northern Europe that yielded the Renaissance.
