The development of the first universities from the 12th century onwards, growing wealth and patronage in certain cities, and above all the invention of printing and cheap paper, provided essential conditions for the Renaissance. And it was in literature and scholarship that it began, in the rebirth of classical culture that loosened the Church's iron grip on visual art.

The copy is hard to read, but I'm not sure that it's any fault of those who copied it. I am uploading some samples of the pages.
Pros:

Other features include pages detailing the Kawatche Caves, Clark's Origins, Kryptonite, The Elements, and the Clark and Lana relationship.
