olumbia University Seminar on the Renaissance, Fall 2008.


Posted on behalf of the Columbia University Seminar on the
Renaissance, Fall 2008. Everyone welcome!

This seminar covers all aspects of Renaissance culture, from
political and social history to art history, literature, languages
classical and vernacular, music, philosophy, religion, science and
learning. The Renaissance is taken to begin about the time of
Petrarch and to end-according to the field examined-at various points
in the seventeenth-century. Later scholars who conceptualized the
Renaissance are also discussed.

However, the Faculty House is undergoing renovation, so we will be

generally meet for drinks at 5:45, have dinner at 6:30 and start our
program at 7:30pm.
