I want to know the answer to the following question:
What foundation of study allowed for the accomplishment of the goal of a scholarly people?
All the background I'm provided with is that "As a program to revive the cultural – and particularly the literary – legacy and moral philosophy of classical antiquity, Humanism was a pervasive cultural mode and not the program of a few isolated geniuses like Rabelais or Erasmus as is still sometimes popularly believed.". Is that enough to answer the question?
