In 1453, Constantinople fell to the Turks, ending the Byzantine empire.
This date also marks the beginning of the Renaissance, since the waves
of Greek refugees spread knowledge of Greek throughout Europe.
Included with the newly available Greek manuscripts were the Corpus Hermetica,
Plotinus, and the works of the Neoplatonists.
<BR><BR>
Shortly thereafter in 1492, Isabella and Ferdinand expelled the Jews from
Spain. This sent waves of Jewish refugees throughout Europe, spreading
knowledge of Hebrew and of the Kabbalah.
<BR><BR>
Renaissance philosophers sought to integrate these traditions with the
view of unifying the rapidly disintegrating religious factions and also
ending the constant political strife. Thus they are the forerunners or
prophets of the Rosicrucian and Illuminati movements.
