PETER: See? What I see is new to me, like nothing I ever saw before, and I might say monstrous. JULIUS: But if you're not stone-blind, you're bound to recognize this key, even if you aren't familiar with the golden oak tree. You can certainly see my triple crown, as well as my cloak all gleaming with gold and gems. PETER: That silver key of yours I do recognize, though there's only one of them, and it's very different from those that were given to me long ago by the one true shepherd of the church, that is, Christ. But that glorious crown of yours, how could I possibly recognize it? No tyrant ruling over barbarian peoples ever ventured to wear one like it, much less anyone who came here asking for admission. Your cloak doesn't impress me either; for I always used to consider gold and jewels as trash to be despised. But what does this amount to really? In all this stuff-the key, the crown, the cloak-I recognize marks of that rascally cheat and impostor who shared a name with me but not a faith, that scoundrel Simon whom I once flung down with the aid of Christ. SOURCE: Julius Excluded from Heaven, Erasmus, 1514. Like other Northern Humanists, Erasmus wanted to:

lead an armed revolt against the Catholic Church

centralize the city-states under national monarchs in opposition to the pope

put an end to all social hierarchy in line with the ideals of Christ

And yet why should I find fault with the unenlightenment of the common people, when those who call themselves learned afford so much more just and serious a ground for complaint? Besides many other ridiculous peculiarities, these people add to their gross ignorance and exaggerated and most disgusting pride. It is this that leads them to carp at the reputation of those whose most trivial sayings they were once proud to comprehend, in even the most fragmentary fashion. O inglorious age! that scorns antiquity, its mother, to whom it owes every noble art, that dares to declare itself not only equal but superior to the glorious past. I say nothing of the vulgar, the dregs of mankind, whose sayings and opinions may raise a laugh but hardly merit serious censure. I will say nothing of the military class and the leaders in war, who do not blush to assert that their time has beheld the culmination and perfection of military art, when there is no doubt that this art has degenerated and is utterly going to ruin in their hands. They have neither skill nor intelligence, but rely entirely upon indolence and chance. They go to war decked out as if for a wedding, bent on meat and drink and the gratification of their lust. They think much more of flight than they do of victory. Their skill lies not in striking the adversary, but in holding out the hand of submission; not in terrifying the enemy, but in pleasing the eyes of their mistresses. But even these false notions may be excused in view of the utter ignorance and want of instruction on the part of those who hold them. Letter from Petrarch to Boccaccio c. 1366 According to his letter to Boccaccio, Petrarch believes:

his contemporaries have much to learn from antiquity but think themselves superior to men of the past.

his contemporaries are actively attempting to learn lessons from antiquity but has thus far failed to replicate its glory.

his contemporaries are too focused on studying the art of war and do not spend enough energy cultivating their minds.

his contemporaries are superior because they have the spiritual guidance of religion to help shape their thoughts and actions.

Letter from Petrarch to Boccaccio c. 1366 Petrarch and other Italian humanists most consistently argued which of the following?

I will proceed with the description of the queen's disposition and natural gifts of mind and body, wherein she either matched or exceeded all the princes of her time, as being of a great spirit yet tempered with moderation, in adversity never dejected, in prosperity rather joyful than proud; affable to her subjects, but always with due regard to the greatness of her estate, by reason whereof she was both loved and feared..... Latin, French, and Italian she could speak very elegantly, and she was able in all those languages to answer ambassadors on the sudden....Of the Greek tongue she was also not altogether ignorant.

It is more than a monster in nature that a woman shall reign and have empire above man. To promote a woman to bear rule, above any realm, nation, or city, is repugnant to nature, contumely to God,...and, finally, it is the subversion of good order, of all equity and justice. When a woman roles, the blind lead the sighted, the sick the robust, the foolish, mad and frenetic the discreet and sober.

Some tried to escape, but the Spaniards murdered them at the gates while they laughed. Others climbed the walls, but they could not save themselves. Others entered the communal house, where they were safe for a while. Others lay down among the victims and pretended to be dead. But if they stood up again they [the Spaniards] would see them and kill them. The blood of the warriors ran like water as they ran, forming pools, which widened, as the smell of blood and entrails fouled the air. And the Spaniards walked everywhere, searching the communal houses to kill those who were hiding. They ran everywhere, they searched every place. When people outside the Sacred Patio learned of the massacre, shouting began, "Captains, Mexicanos, come here quickly! Come here with all arms, spears, and shields! Our captains have been murdered! Our warriors have been slain!" Then a roar was heard, screams, people wailed, as they beat their palms against their lips. Quickly the captains assembled, as if planned in advance, and carried their spears and shields. Then the battle began. The Aztecs attacked them with arrows and even javelins, including small javelins used for hunting birds. They furiously hurled their javelins at the Spaniards, and the cloud of missiles spread out over the Spaniards like a yellow cloak.” SOURCE: Toribio de Benavente, also known as “Motolinía,” Franciscan monk, Excerpt from Historia de los Indios de la Nueva España, 1555 This account of the conquest of the Aztecs most supports…
