[Herbalist] [SCA-Herbalist] SCOUT: Renaissance Secrets (fwd)

[Jenne Heise]

>
> This Site, reviewed by the Internet Scout Report, provides some very
> useful, interesting information as well as research techniques. 'The
> Italian Patient' is my favorite section.
>
> > 13. Renaissance Secrets
> > http://www.open2.net/renaissance2/index.html
> >
> > Developed as part of a partnership between the Open University and the BBC,
> > the Renaissance Secrets (based in part on a television series) addresses
> > four different historical questions dealing with various aspects of the late
> > Middle Ages and the Renaissance, along with providing helpful material on
> > the practice and art of writing about and understanding history. The four
> > topics include a discussion of the many faces of Venice during the
> > Renaissance, medical care and hospitals during the Renaissance, the
> > conspiracy to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I, and Johannes Gutenberg. Within
> > each of these four topic areas, visitors can read short thematic essays
> > about related topics and find out more about the evidence and historical
> > knowledge that informs each related topic. By doing so, visitors
> > (particularly students) will be able to better understand how historians
> > "do" history. Finally, from the site's home page, visitors can also read
> > essays from practicing historians about their own work and how they begin to
> > collect evidence and interpret the past. [KMG]
