Abstract

[The Renaissance in Western Europe in the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries marked strong activity of recovery and revitalisation in artistic, scientific, and literature frames that overcame the stagnation of the Middle Ages. Unlike during medieval times, the opening of society during the Renaissance promoted the spread of machines in many environments. Little by little, many existing machines were no longer considered simply as a means of carrying out civil or military engineering works.]
