The product of Christian inspiration was heavily Hellenistic in origin... lyringlas Send a noteboard - 08/04/2010 07:54:12 PM
yeah, a lot of great things came out of the Renaissance, but it was the Renaissance of Greek and Roman ideals, not of Christianity. So I wouldn't so much say that Christianity inspired a lot of artistic development, so much as prolonged and enriched the Greek and Roman era topoi.

He must be talking about a different plague, but I'm not sure which one, either. *NM* Legolas - 07/04/2010 01:37:32 AM 357 Views
Maybe; there were episodic plague epidemics before and after that time. Joel - 07/04/2010 02:05:18 AM 601 Views
