The invasion of Constantinople was carried out by the Ottoman Empire, culminating in the city's fall in 1453. This event prompted many Greek scholars to flee to the West, particularly to Italy, bringing with them important manuscripts and knowledge from the classical Greek and Roman eras. Their migration significantly contributed to the Renaissance by reintroducing classical ideas and texts to Western Europe.

Which period of history was greatly influenced by classical greek and roman works?

The Renaissance was the period in history most influence by classic Greek and Roman works. After the fall of Constantinople, many Greek and Roman scholars fled to Italy and Western Europe, prompting a new surge of interest in ancient literature and a desire to reproduce their culture.


Who was one of the Renaissance scholars and writers who devoted themselves to the study of the subjects taught in ancient Greek and Roman schools?

The scholars who devoted themselves to the study of ancient Roman texts in Latin and ancient Greek texts were the humanists. The father of humanism was Petrarch who advocated the study of Latin literature and rhetoric. He lived in the 14th century, before the beginning of the Renaissance. Originally the humanists only studied Roman texts as no one could read Greek and knowledge of Greek works had been lost. The learning of ancient Greek and ancient Greek texts followed the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Many Greek scholars went to Italy, taught Greek and the study of Greek texts. The main effect of this was the revival of ancient Greek philosophy.


How did Europeans become aware of greek thinking?

Europeans became aware of Greek thinking primarily through the translation and preservation of ancient Greek texts by scholars in the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic world during the Middle Ages. The Renaissance, beginning in the 14th century, further facilitated this rediscovery as scholars sought out and translated Greek works, leading to a revival of classical knowledge. Additionally, the fall of Constantinople in 1453 prompted many Greek intellectuals to flee to Western Europe, bringing with them classical texts and ideas that greatly influenced European thought. This resurgence of interest in Greek philosophy, science, and literature laid the groundwork for the Enlightenment and modern Western thought.

What city fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 causing scholars to flee with ancient Greek and Roman manuscripts?

The Greek scholars fled to Italy, where an interest in Greek learning had been stimulated by Greek scholars who had already settled there and had generated an interest in the ancient Greeks as well as the Romans among Italian humanists, which then became a feature of the Italian Renaissance. Ancient Greek manuscripts had been lost in Western Europe and Byzantine scholarship only became fully available in the west after the Council of Florence of 1438-39, which the Byzantine emperor attended to discuss a union of the Orthodox and Catholic churches. Some Greek scholars settled in Italy around this time and were later joined by learned Greek refugees. Gemistus Pletho lectured in Florence on the difference between Plato and Aristotle and reintroduced Plato to Western Europe. His lectures inspired Cosimo de' Medici to found the Accademia Platonica in Florence. George of Trebizon was summoned to Venice in 1430 or 1438. Theodorus Gaza he became professor of Greek in the newly founded University of Ferrara in 1447. Basilios Bessarion settled in Rome in 1438 and his residence became a centre for the study of humanism and and Greek learning. It also acted as a centre for Greek scholars and refugees. He supported the commissioning of translations of Greek manuscripts into Latin.They fled to Italy.
