: What is a "Renaissance Man"?
: I apologize for probably needing a brief explanation of this time
with your answer in order to understand its meaning.
or a quick overview of the Renaissance, check this out www.best.com/ ~natalew/Timeline.html-
Following the "dark ages", exploration, art, archietecture, science,
mathematics, metallurgy, music, navigation and just about everything
else
came booming back "into fashion". Many people became accomplished
in certain disciplines, and some became highly accomplished in many
of them. Today, someone with a good deal of ability in different
arenas (cooking, music, computers, business savvy, gardening, mechanics,
etc.) might be referred to as a "Renaissance Man". (Works for women
too, of course).
