This text is an exploration of Renaissance literature and the importance of a powerful tradition of Christian-Platonist rational spirituality derived from St. Augustine and Nicholas of Cusa. John Spencer Hill argues that this tradition had a formative role in the thought of Renaissance writers by enabling them to assimilate into their world view two central discoveries of the Renaissance - that the universe is infinite and that human existance is bound and regulated by the passage of time.
