Many would nominate Shakespeare (1564-1616), and would vote for him. So would I. If you leave him out, a good case can be made for the Spanish Cervantes (1547-1616), whose "Don Quixote" must rank among the most memorable books written. And I would give very high marks to two French writers: Montaigne (1533-92), whose "Essays" inaugurated a new form reflecting the freer spirit of the age, and to Rabelais (1494-1592), whose "Gargantua and Pantagruel," in its exuberance, rollicking humor, frank sensuality, and disparagement of medieval monasticism and its hypocrisies, seems the very embodiment of the earlier Renaisance

during the Renaissance (as in while it was actually happening) Christopher Marlowe and John Webster were the biggies...However, if you're asking who was the greatest writer to come out of the Renaissance it is hands-down William Shakespeare

Going Postal's answer is the top reason the memories of Jesus and different memories interior the bible are believed which you would be genuine. If a rumor, incorrect information, or a lie (intentional or no longer) is surpassed around long sufficient and to sufficient human beings, it is going to become popular as certainty. Then, no remember what the evidence against, people who believe it to be genuine will combat to the loss of existence to guard it. His answer is likewise the top reason no one tries to "examine" the beginning of what they suspect. "everybody says so, subsequently, it would be genuine." Why ought to they examine? And, in the event that they admire the originator (individual or e book) they won't examine despite in the event that they needed to for concern of exhibiting disrespect and obtainable repercussions from others who nonetheless believe it to be genuine. We see this continuously with so referred to as "city legends", chain letters, and political correctness. i'm, by utilizing no potential, denying the existence of a author. it is something for each individual to confirm for themselves. yet to refuse to question ourselves and others and to refuse to admit whilst we've made a mistake, no remember what the subject remember, is thoroughly irresponsible and a disservice to ourselves to boot as surely everyone around us.
