The discoveries of the Scientific Revolution had begun to corrode old certainties about the universe, just as the exploration of the New...

Between roughly 1350 and 1650, Europe underwent seismic changes in economics, politics, culture, and religion. Feudal monarchies were reconceived as abstract states.
