    Arts

    1300 - Humanism, defined as the study of classical literature, history, and rhetoric, evolves from the literary activity of lawyers and notaries at Padua, Bologna, Florence, and other cities. Humanism coincides with the profound secularization of Italian culture

    1397
    - Manuel Chrysoloras becomes first professor of Greek at Florence University. Italian scholars seize on the work of Classical authors.

    1450 - Florence becomes center of Renaissance arts and learning under the Medicis. Characterized by a humanism and an emphasis on rational space, proportion, and perspective, the Renaissance style makes its way to northern Italy.
    1488 - Lorenzo de Medici establishes the first art school. Students include Michelangelo. Michelangelo and DaVinci both paint a wall of the Great Council Chamber of the town hall in Florence.Vasari writes The Lives of the Artists, detailing the Medici sponsored artists, introducing the term “Renaissance”.


    Architecture
    Gothic, 12th – 16th c.

    1377–1446 - Filippo Brunelleschi. Among Brunelleschi's most celebrated architectural projects is the ribbed dome for the Cathedral in Florence (1436), sponsored by Cosimo Medici.
    1434 - Brunelleschi develops linear perspective.


    Painting and Sculpture


    1266-1337 - Giotto: Florentine painter, painted more realistic views of people than had been pained before. Frescos in the Areana Chapel, Padua,
    1305-6 - Madonna Enthroned,
    1310 - The Nativity.
    1378–1455 - Lorenzo Ghiberti. Florentine sculptor. He wins a competition for the commission for the bronze doors of the Baptistery of San Giovanni, Florence. Spanning nearly fifty years, the doors illustrate a transition from the International Gothic to classical forms and perspective. He runs a large and successful workshop.
    1386–1466 - Donatello. Florentine sculptor. Makes the first bronze statue since the Romans.
    1413-6 - The Limbourg brothers, Netherlandish painters trained as goldsmiths in Paris, enter the service of the duc de Berry, for whom they produce two illuminated manuscripts: the Belles Heures and the Très Riches Heures
    1430–1516 - Giovanni Bellini. Venetian painter. Known for compositions of the Madonna and Child
    Boticelli Florentine painter, works under the patronage of Lorenzo de Medici. La Primevera. The Birth of Venus. Paints fantastic and Roman mythologic subjects, as opposed to Catholic imagery. Birth of humanistic, secular painting.
    1400s - Netherlandish panel painting. Founded by Robert Campin, Jan van Eyck, and Rogier van der Weyden, is noted for its detail and its enamel-like surface achieved by built-up layers of oil paint.
    1410-1450s - Utrecht is a major center for illuminated manuscripts, which disseminate the inventions of the great panel painters throughout Europe. The undisputed masterpiece of the Utrecht school is the Hours of Catherine of Cleves (ca. 1435–40)
    1400s - Bruges is a hub for international banking and trade, and a court location of the dukes of Burgundy. Many artists settle there, including Jan van Eyck, Petrus Christus, Hans Memling, and Gerard David.
    1400-1500s - Tapestries are at first produced on commission, but the demand for them is so great that by 1500 they are available ready-made at fairs throughout the Low Countries. Brussels is a major production center.
    Late 1400s - Bruges' prominence declines as the Zwin River becomes unnavigable. Maximilian orders the relocation of foreign merchants to Antwerp. As a result, Antwerp becomes a center for printing and book manufacture, artists including Quentin Massys, Joos van Cleve, Joachim Patinir, and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. It is here that a school of painting known as Antwerp mannerism emerges, combining Italian Renaissance and Northern motifs.

    Literature


    1321 - Dante Alighieri writes The Divine Comedy in Italian. Dante held civil positions in Florence as a “White”.
    1304–1374 - The lyricist Petrarch, renowned for his love poetry (Il Canzoniere), is considered the first humanist.
    1387 - Geoffrey Chaucer begins work on The Canterbury Tales

    The Kingdom ofLeon Castilla is predominately Roman Catholic & the majority of its citizens adhere to this faith with great fervor!. However it does exercise tolerance for peoples of other faiths because of its desire to keep Iberia Christian it values the loyalty of its Muslims ( without the support & loyalty of the Islamic guilds & influential community leaders to the Christian rulers of Leon Castilla it would be an easy task for a renewed "golden age" of Islam to manifest again in Iberia.) also a significant number of Jews who seek refuge in this land from the persecution they have experienced further North on the European continent are vital and important members of Leon Castilla as their economic contributions to the stability
    & Solvency of the realm are crucial.

    in Aragon`s designs to become in Vatican eyes the most favored & and most significant power to champion & show true loyalty for the political & religious pursuits of the church ( by accomplishing this Aragon may insure an upper hand in all trade agreements and diplomacy with any of the other Christian powers of Europe & also be seen as the preeminent Christian power in Iberia) so therefore policy in terms of religious tolerance is more of a abstract notion rather than something with a corporeal or tangible nature! the Jews particularly, whom reside in the large Hebrew Community in Barcelona are allowed to proclaim their faith openly, but this does cause intense social scrutiny and discrimination against them.
    Even though great efforts are taken to mask this, the prejudice is evident as most Jews can only find work in Jewish owned and operated businesses ( which are closely monitored as only in a Small number of fields is it legal for Jews to conduct business in Aragon.) As for those who follow Islam it is an even more dire situation,
    as the authorities of Aragon have declared a complete ban on Islamic practice throughout the principality . Which was unfortunate for many Moslems who traditionally had been long time inhabitants of Valencia and other Aragonese holdings who had to relocate or abandon devotion of Allah.

    The newly Islamic African power of Mali, has Chosen to become a nation under the "Banner" of Allah for reasons more political than of true faith or demographic belief,
    Mali`s rulers have come to see it quite advantageous to proclaim a "piety" under Allah. Hoping this social change will increase their trading opportunities with Tangiers & Tunisia ( both Islamic sovereignty`s) who have become powerhouses in trade with the west and Christendom & and also hopeful commencement of trade with the Egypt which has long refused to associate itself with the more "Pagan" and indigenous populations of Africa
    as it being a Middle eastern culture with Hellenistic influences & not African. Also Mali has designs on expanding further north its dominion and this will require the tolerance & support of Tangiers & Tunisia.
    Most of Mali`s people still Worship the traditional Pagan faiths of the region, but the ruling class has been the proponent of a Policy of indoctrinating Islam into the current affairs & daily life of Mali & sponsoring Imans from both Tangiers &Tunisia to begin campaigns of conversion throughout the towns and Villages of the area.

    The Kingdom of Portugal is heavily influenced by Islamic religious teachings due in large part to its proximity to Muslim holdings . However the majority of Portugal's citizens are Roman Catholic but there are no laws or social campaigns
    at work to limit or ban Islam or encourage the religions faithful to convert to Christianity. In Portugal a similar attitude of tolerance exists for the substantial Jewish population. Portugal's Jewish community is heavily taxed ,because even though, there is no bigotry or negative stigmas towards the Jews in Portugal. The Jews in Portugal are seen as foreigners & their value to Portugal is strictly a issue of what they can contribute to the Royal coffers & thus are thought of as a transitory population to be used as a source of income. Jews in Portugal do have the freedom to engage in any kind of work they choose ( of course if it generates more revenue to be taxed) & are not limited to certain profession`s as the policies of Jewish persecution which are the customs of some of Portugal`s other Christian neighbors towards the handling of the Jews in their realms.

    The Kingdom of Navarre (or as it is referred to locally as Casa De Navarre) is isolated in the far north Eastern reaches of the Iberian peninsula. The kingdom of Navarre` officially has adopted as its religion, Roman Catholicism (although it is practiced in a distinctly Basque fashion). However its government is quite tolerant of all other faiths, to a certain extent (partially because there is not a significant population of any other conflicting body of religious belief to pose a challenge to tenets of Catholicism adhered to by the Navarrese) . The main concern of importance to the Navarrese monarch & people is maintaining the sovereignty of the nation rather than converting the masses. Because of this the Navarrese are often viewed as a heretical . However the mountainous region which its people inhabit serves to deter other nations from invasion and the Navarre are confident in the general loyalty of the common people of the realm because of their traditions of isolationism &
    most of any religious practice outside of Catholicism involve local beliefs which have long been a integral part of Basque culture.

    The overwhelming majority of people in Le Duche` D`Aqutaine are Roman Catholic (although there are attempts to conceal & eradicate the still widespread worship of the Pagan religions in which these now mostly catholic French people, traditionally were devoted too before Christendom took its place as being the dominant religious and ideological force throughout Europe ). The Duchies ties to the Roman catholic church have a strong history dating back to the 6th century (as these southern French were some of the first continental Europeans to embrace Christianity). Because of the large majority of Roman Catholics & an effort to purge all remaining heathen or Pagan believers ,their is little room for religious tolerance. Jews are limited to professions dealing with finance, because any proclivity involving the management of finance or money is seen as an undesirable & unchristian field of focus akin with maintaining a "clean" Christian spirit.

    Le Comte Burgun's population is almost entirely Roman Catholic. The population of Burgun is almost entirely homogeneous, from a religious standpoint. Its people are very religious and heavily influenced by the roman catholic faith. However the Le Comte Burgun` is not influenced by the pope in all things. Its people believe that the government takes care of the land, while the church takes care of the spirit, and that the two should not interfere. Especially since the Pope & Vatican feel it most prudent Burgun` should put aside its claims to independence & declare fealty to Le Dauphinous. This Policy held by the Vatican has struck a cord of in surety in the people of Burgun`Because they are very religious & loyal to the church yet are also extremely independent & proud of their ability to remain sovereign amidst the super powers which surround them.
