Read the following passage and answer questions 64 to 65. The Book of the Courtier (Italia: Il Cortegiano) was written by Baldassare Castiglione in 1528. Baldassare was inspired

to write the Courtier by debates that occurred in Urbino on what makes a well-rounded person (l'uomo universale).The book is organized as a series of fictional conversations that occur between the courtiers of the Duke of Urbino in the

year 1507 (when Baldassare was in fact part of the Duke's Court). In the book, the courtier is described as having a cool mind, a good voice (with beautiful, elegant and brave words) and proper bearing and gestures. At the same time though, the courtier is expected to have a warrior spirit, to be athletic and to have good knowledge of the humanities, classics, and how to draw and paint. However, with all these skills he does everything with certain nonchalance or "sprezzatura".

During his visits to Italy, Francois I of France read Baldassare Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier. That text so inspired the king that he had it translated into French. He had several copies made, which he then brought back to France to distribute amongst his courtiers. He felt that this book portrayed the model royal court and he strove to create this type of court for


himself.To this day, the Book of the Courtier remains the definitive account of Renaissance court life. In its own day, however, it

was used as a manual on how to be the "Perfect Courtier" and the consummate court lady. By any measure, it is one of the most important of Renaissance works.Source: The Book of the CourtierFrom: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_the_Courtier

Few people were educated in northern Europe.b. The Black Death delayed economic growth in northern Europe. d. Northern Europe was a region of peasants.

66. How are Medieval concepts of faith reflected in this Renaissance work?a. The Courtier’s “nonchalance” reflects humility or a desire not to seek fameb. The Courtier supports his “lord” no matter what the situationc. The Courtier strives for “perfection,” thus drawing closer to God d. The Courtier was supposed to be able to “sing” Gregorian chant

67. Why would a scholar such as Erasmus want the Bible to be translated into “the vernacular”? a. He wanted to promote the study of classical Greek and Latin languages.

b. He wanted to widen the spread of knowledge to lower class people. c. He realized that a whole new industry could be developed in translating documents.d. He wanted to limit the knowledge about the faith to the peasants.

His Geography, though influential, vastly underestimated the size of the Earth. That led Columbus to believe a shorter route to China and India could be found to the west.
