Humanism was as central to the multiple achievements of Renaissance Scotland as to those of France or Italy. This book studies the affect of humanist thought on literature, painting, architecture, law, philosophy, religion, science and mathematics. It picks out elements common to all and relates them to the development of Scottish life and literature. The studies are by a team of specialists and the book puts the Scottish Renaissance within a European context.
