first of all, Humanism is a defining concept of the Renaissance, a literary movement that began in Italy during the 14th century.

The Renaissance witnessed the discovery and exploration of new continents, the substitution of the Copernican for the Ptolemaic system of astronomy, the decline of the feudal system and the growth of commerce, and the invention or application of such potentially powerful innovations as paper, printing, the mariner's compass, and gunpowder. To the scholars and thinkers of the day, it was primarily a time of the revival of classical learning and wisdom after a long period of cultural decline and stagnation.
