6. Renaissance is the name given to the revival of learning and to the whole transition of Europe from the medieval order to the modern order. It is generally regarded as having its origin in the fall of Constantinomle in 1453, when many Greek scholars fled from the advanc- ing Turks to Italy and Western Europe.
