portugaise, littérature.
(1572, « Les Lusiades, ou les fils de Lusus », c'est-à-dire les Portugais). C'est peut-être l'un des plus beaux écrits épiques de la Renaissance, éloge des héros portugais de l'ancien temps et, par extension, de la nation tout entière, petite mais toujours indomptée. La découverte de la route des Indes par Vasco de Gama lui fournit le thème de départ de son poème, qu'il enrichit de référence à la mythologie ancienne. L'œuvre culmine dans la glorification éternelle de la conquête de la nature par...

Drawing
I
INTRODUCTION
Drawing, delineation of form upon a surface, usually a plane, by means of lines and tints or shading.
In the monasteries of medieval Europe, religious texts were inscribed on parchment, then embellished with initial letters, decorative borders, and miniature scenes. InRomanesque Europe, drawings served as models to be copied for such manuscript illumination and also as cartoons ( see Cartoon), or studies, for frescoes, sculpture, and other arts. Subjects were usually treated as stylized symbols of religious truths. This viewpoint was countered in the Gothic period; the change was reflected in th...

importante, les Métamorphoses (Metamorphoseis), est un long poème dont la trame est vague et qui traite des anciens mythes. 6 L’ÂGE D’OR : LA PROSE À l’âge d’or de la poésie romaine correspond un âge d’or de la prose, d’égale valeur littéraire.

mathématiques - mathématiques.
autres problèmes mathématiques célèbres apparaissent au cours de ce siècle : diviser un angle en trois angles égaux et construire un cube dont le volume est le double d’un cube donné. Ces trois problèmes seront résolus à l’aide d’instruments beaucoup plus complexes qu’une règle et un compas. Ce n’est qu’au XIX e siècle que l’on démontrera qu’il est impossible de les résoudre au moyen de ces deux instruments. Dans la seconde moitié du Ve siècle av. J.-C., une découverte dérangeante est faite :...

The word monk comes from a term meaning 'alone.' Gradually Anthony attracted followers, and he eventually became the center of a whole community of monks who wis...
