Which of the following was a characteristic of renaissance Historiography ?
Answer: A
The characteristic of Renaissance historiography was History as a history of human passions.
Renaissance humanist historians, from Petrarch to Machiavelli and Guicciardini, turned away from the medieval view of history as the working of God's plan and placed human beings, their motives, ambitions and passions, at the centre of historical explanation.
History as the history of the Church is the medieval view that the Renaissance moved away from, and history as nature or matter belongs to later naturalist and materialist approaches.
