What is the importance of medieval renaissance period?

Answer 1

There were several periods of the Middle Ages known as medieval Renaissance periods. One was the Renaissance of the 12th century, another was the Ottonian Renaissance, yet another was the Carolingian Renaissance, and there were others. In addition, there was a long time of great cultural activity in Spain, beginning in the 9th century and lasting until the end of the Middle Ages. Each of these contributed to an increase in learning, understanding, and culture in its own way.

Also, the Renaissance is regarded as having started in the middle of the 14th century, about a hundred years before the Middle ages ended, so there was that period of medieval Renaissance as well, similarly a time of increased interest in culture.

Very roughly, the dates for these were as follows:

• 770 to 850, Carolingian Renaissance
• 867 to 1056, Macedonian Renaissance
• 940 to 1000, Ottonian Renaissance
• 1100 to 1270, Renaissance of the 12th Century
• 1350 or so, beginning of the European Renaissance

The European Renaissance might well be dated from the Condemnations of 1277, which has been called the birth of modern science because they freed science and scientific education from strict conformity to Aristotelian science, which had been imposed by universities and their professors.

We might also note that a period called the Islamic Golden Age, has also been called the Islamic Renaissance, lasted from about 630 to 1254.
