While much that was new about the Renaissance derived from the recovery, restoration, and revival of ancient ideas and culture, the process of renewal took place against the backdrop of intellectual and cultural structures inherited from the Middle Ages. This volume of \u003ci\u003eA\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eCultural History of Ideas \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the ways in which distinctively Renaissance ideas and a distinctively Renaissance culture emerged from the complex interaction of ancient and medieval influences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe emphasis is on the interplay between culture and ideas, observed at close quarters through studies of scholars, physicians, botanists, and scientists; popes, cardinals, and bishops; Catholics, Lutherans, Calvinists, Anabaptists, and heretics; missionaries and Mughal administrators; artists, craftsmen, merchants, and butchers. Contributors to the volume look not only at philosophical, scientific, medical, pharmacological, astronomical, astrological, and cosmological treatises, but also at gardens, botanical collections and drawings, woodcuts, broadsides, frontispieces, peace treaties, and commercial contracts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  The 6-volume set \u003ci\u003eA Cultural History of Ideas\u003c\/i\u003e is part of The Cultural Histories Series.
