Dante was one of the first vernacular writers in the Italian renaissance. He looked to Virgil a Roman poet as his inspiration and as hells guide in the divine comedy
Ralph's example about Dante using the vernacular language in his writing is a good example of Renaissance humanism because it appealed to more people and strayed from the tradition of the Middle Ages.
Divine comedy: "That nothing save the light of truth allays Our intellect's disquiet I now see plain- God's truth, which holds all truth within its rays"
"Full well see thine intellect give off splendors already of the eternal light which once to look upon is aye to love"
In Petrarchs piece, he says that is he is striving to write more about history and ancient subjects and that he is now delighting in writing about history. In Dante’s piece it decribes how he is guided by the great roman poet Virgil.
"I possessed a well balanced rather than a keen intellect, one prone to all kinds of good wholesome study, but especially inclined to al philosophy and the art of poetry."
"In order to forget my own times, I have continually striven to place my spirit in other, ages and consequently delighted in history"
1. In Dante's Human and Divine Love one example of why this work is from the Renaissance is because Beatrice explains free will to Dante. Free will relates to individualism which was a prominent theme of the Renaissance.
2. Petrarch states he resents the actions of his parents representing how people of the Renaissance resented their parents or elders of the Dark Ages.
Dante's Divine Comedy: "All beings great and small are linked in order; and this orderliness Is form, which stamps God's likeness on the All. Herein the higher creatures see the trace Of the prime excellence who is the end for which that form was framed in the first place."
In response to Margaux's quote from To Posterity: This quote from To Posterity represents how people during the Renaissance strove to be well-educated in several different aspects of life in order to be well rounded individuals.
Margaux's first post really shows how much poetry and writing were becoming important to Renaissance writers. Caroline's comment is good because it relates to Plato who was part of the greco-roman period and was subject of other forms of art like the school of athens.
Petrarch: "I have taken pride in others, never in myself l, and however insignificant I may have been, I have always been still less important in my own judgment. " Petrarch: "...and such was my innate longing for liberty, that I studiously avoided those whose very name seemed incompatible with the-freedom that I loved."
I dwelt especially, upon antiquity , for our own age has always repelled me, so that, had it not been for the love of those dear to me, I should have preferred to have been born in any other period

In response to Shull's first post. Petrarch wants to know more about the past and learn from it. He wants to improve his knowledge of the world and write about it.
Michelangelo Sonnet: “The place is wrong, and no painter am I.”
Petrarch To Posterity: “In ordinary conversation with friends, or those close to me, I never gave any thought to my language, and I have always wondered that Augustus Caesar should have taken such pains in this respect.”
In Response to Michael's last post it is saying that people are driven for knowledge and are delighted in history which is a sure sign of the Renaissance
In Response to SaraCatherine her Petrarch post is saying that Petrarch should have taken much more pride in his own comments rather than always agreeing with others, which in renaissance times humaritarian values along with self pride is encouraged
I agree with Dylis's second comment about how Petrarch resents the actions of his parents, because the people of the Renaissance were against the Dark ages, and the things that they did.
In response to Caroline's first comment, I agree because it is talking about free will which ties into the idea of humanism. Humanism was a big part of the Renaissance.
To Margaux's quote: "I possessed a well balanced rather than a keen intellect, one prone to all kinds of good wholesome study, but especially inclined to al philosophy and the art of poetry."
Is humanism because they believe that their knowledge should be well-rounded.
Misterka's quote shows that people wished that they lived in a different time period.
