	The study of '''humanism''' began by the focus on the three forms of the [[Trivium]] -- [[grammar]], [[rhetoric]], and [[logic]], as well as the study of [[poetics]], in particular the [[classical]]. Initially these forms were all studied from the [[classical]], and in particular the [[Greek]] world -- the movement of [[Byzantine]] scholars to [[Italy]] from around 1400 where they taught the [[Greek language]] enabled scholars to study [[classical]] [[Greek]] texts in their original language, and to perform many [[translations]].

			Study of the [[classical]] [[Greek]] (and hence [[pagan]]) writers had been, prior to '''humanism''' not been popular. For example, the [[scholastics]] of the [[12th century]] and [[13th century]] had become too absorbed in [[theology]] according to the [[humanists]], and therefore overlooked the wisdom of the [[ancient]]s -- this was the greatest criticism of the [[scholastics]] by the [[humanists]]. As a counter to this, [[humanists]] taught [[ethics]] rather than [[theology]].

			Because the [[Greek]]s, and thus the [[humanists]] had on their side many of the great [[philosopher]]s, which the [[scholastics]] chose to ignore, the [[humanists]] saw the [[scholastics]] as having a rigid, formalistic, aged and unproper way of doing [[philosophy]].
