Amerigo Vespucci
The Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci.
Italian cartographer and explorer Amerigo Vespuci. He was the first to identify South America as a continent. Ask yourself, how would he be able to do that without having to sail all the way around it? He figured it out by discovering the mouth of the Amazon river. He estimated that a river of that size and volume had to be collecting rain from a watershed the size of Europe. Ergo, he was sailing off a continent, rather than just another large island.
Renaissance is a French noun meaning 'to be born again'. Originally it was used as a metaphor for rediscovering one's Christian faith. The historian Vasari using the Italian equivalent rinascimento is credited with first using it to describe the rediscovery of Greek and Latin culture by late-medieval Europeans. It was not until after Napoleon's invasion of Italy in 1799 that French critics and historians began to use this term to describe specifically North Italian culture from 1400 to 1600. They were followed by Swiss German historian Jacob Burckhardt in his History of the Renaissance Civilisation in Italy (1867).
