Carlson:
>> 1054 is the date of the Great Schism.
>>Constantinople fell in 1453.>>

Sangrey:
>Yes.  And, upon looking at how a GNT (and LXX) affected Bible
translation and printing around 1500, and how the Vulgate was
diplaced, it gets rather obvious that the emigration of Constantinople
scholars had an impact on the resurgence of Greek in Europe and
England.>

Though chairs for Greek and exotic languages were set up in Cambridge,
Paris, Rome and (I forgot the fourth chair) in . . .
1312. we're talking Roger Bacon days. Greeks from MagnaGraeca
(southern Italy) were some of the first teachers and primary
influence. The fall of Constantinople over a century later added
momemtum to what had already started.
