520    Between the birth of Dante in 1265 and the death of 
       Galileo in 1642, something happened that transformed the 
       entire culture of western civilization. Painting, 
       sculpture, and architecture would all visibly change in 
       such a striking fashion that there could be no going back 
       on what had taken place. Likewise, the thought and self-
       conception of humanity would take on a completely new 
       aspect. Sciences would be born--or emerge in an entirely 
       new guise. The ideas that broke this mold began, and 
       continued to flourish, in the city of Florence in northern
       central Italy. These ideas, which placed an increasing 
       emphasis on the development of our common humanity--rather
       than other-worldly spirituality--coalesced in what came to
       be known as humanism. This philosophy and its new ideas 
       would eventually spread across Italy, yet wherever they 
       took hold they would retain an element essential to their 
       origin. And as they spread further across Europe, this 
       element would remain.
