History The Renaissance and Humanism
The Renaissance (14th-17th centuries) marked Europe's cultural rebirth, reviving classical learning and emphasizing humanism - human potential and achievements rather than religious doctrine. The period produced Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Shakespeare. The printing press spread ideas rapidly. Renaissance thinking valued observation and experimentation, laying groundwork for the Scientific Revolution. This cultural transformation reshaped art, literature, philosophy, and science.

Leonardo da Vinci wrote his notes backwards in mirror writing, possibly to keep his ideas secret or simply because he was left-handed!
