The Renaissance: Video Series
The following is a list of the component segments of the video series The Renaissance:
The Origins of the Modern West, developed by Theodore K. Rabb of Princeton
University. The list indicates the dates on which we will view the videos in class. I
have included the number by which the video is catalogued in the Eli M. Oboler Library, where you
may view them on your own if you wish.
Your project will deal either with theology or with the natural sciences. When you have made
your choice, you should watch the relevant video programs.
