The Renaissance was a cultural movement that spanned the period roughly from the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the late middle ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. Though availability of paper and the invention of metal movable type sped the dissemination of ideas from the later 15 th century,the changes of the Renaissance were not uniformly experienced across Europe. As a cultural movement, it encompassed innovative flowering of Latin and vernacular literatures, beginning with the 14th century resurgence of learning based on classical sources, which contemporaries credited to Petrarch, the development of linear perspective and other techniques of rendering a more natural reality in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform. The Renaissance saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term "Renaissance man."

The Art of Calligraphy
It was inevitable that the upheval described above would also affect our subject matter.One of the major benefits of this new milieu of learning and enquiry was the spreading of literacy, the ability of not only to be able to read but also to write.Keeping diaries and notebooks became a widespread practice, not only amongst artist and scientist but also amongst the wealthy upper classes and the aristocracy, as did the sending back and forth of notes and letters.
Leonarda da Vinci: Florentine painter,sculptor,architect,engineer,and scholar, one of the greatest minds of the Renaissance; born at Vinci near Florence in 1452 died at Cloux near Amboise, France, 1519 natural son of Ser Piero.He was quite self-made.His work was small in bulk, and what remains may be counted on fingers of both hands.
The Renaissance Book
The great intellectual movement of Renaissance Italy was humanism.The humanists believed that the Greek and Latin classics contained both all the lessons one needed to lead a moral and effective life and the best models for a powerful Latin style.They developed a new rigorous kind of classical scholarship,with which they corrected and tried to understand the works of the Greeks and Romans,which seemed so vital to them.
