Etymology/Source of the term[edit]

The historical origins of the term "Renaissance Man" would be an interesting contribution to this topic. Probably of 19th century origin, because of the implied opposition between the "Renaissance Man" and the increasingly specialized modern labor force. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.129.50 (talk) 01:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
