Ludovico Ariosto
![Ariosto, detail of votive painting ''Madonna with Saints Joseph, John, Catherine, Louis of Toulouse and Lodovico Ariosto'' by [[Vincenzo Catena]], 1512](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Vincenzo_Catena_016_detail.jpg)
Ariosto also coined the term "humanism" (in Italian, ''umanesimo'') for choosing to focus upon the strengths and potential of humanity, rather than only upon its role as subordinate to God. This led to Renaissance humanism. Provided by Wikipedia
