Grossmont Cuyamaca Community College District Renaissance of Italy Discussion
Question Description
I’m working on a history discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Option A: Many explanations were put forth in the Medieval period for what the Black Death was and why it afflicted people, as well as how to cure it. Please use this opportunity to discuss these. You don’t have to respond to anyone.

Option B: The Italian Renaissance is credited with transforming Europe. Many scholars of the time thought they were “rediscovering” ancient culture and knowledge and saving it from the “Dark Ages.” While we have seen there were dark periods, we have also seen some amazing things this semester. What exactly was the Italian Renaissance and in what ways was it new, in what ways was it created a myth about the “Dark Ages?” Why do you think Italian Renaissance scholars had such a negative view about the entire Medieval period?
