This first volume runs from the state of literature in the Middle Ages through the revival of classical learning in Italy, the invention of printing and the age of Erasmus and Luther to the end of the sixteenth century, treating in successive periods the study of the ancients, theology, philosophy and jurisprudence, poetry, drama, prose and science across Italy, France, Spain, Germany and England. Hallam read in several languages and judged with lawyerly caution; his book was for decades the standard English account of the subject.
