Synopsis
Excerpt from Les Précurseurs de la Réforme aux Pays-Bas, Vol. 1
Avec la prise de Constantinople par Mahomet Il, le foyer qui gardait quelques étincelles du feu sacré de l'antiquité semble près de s'éteindre; mais de pieuses mains vont porter dans l'occident ce qu'elles peuvent sauver du naufrage. Des Grecs instruits cherchent un asile en Italie et y font connaître les arts et les lettres d'athènes et de Rome. Secondés par l'invention de l'imprimerie, leurs glorieux efforts donnent une impulsion puissante au mouvement intellectuel, au moment même où, grâce aux travaux initiateurs de Dante, de Pétrarque, de Boccace, l'eur0pe commençait à renaître au goût, à la raison, au sentiment de la dignité humaine.

The author also delves into the profound influence of the period's major discoveries and inventions, including the invention of the printing press, which facilitated the dissemination of new ideas and accelerated the spread of reformist movements. This book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between religion, society, and the forces that drove the Reformation in the Netherlands.
