The humanism started in Italy later on spread to northern Europe through the work of the Brethren of the common life founded in the Netherlands in 1376 and devoted to the copying of manuscripts and the teaching of lower classes. It later spread to France, Germany, England and other countries of the north. They benefited from those who had studied in Italy as well as the teaching activities of the wondering Italian scholars.
It should be noted that the northern humanism differed greatly from the southern one. While church and school in Italy were hostile to one another, schools were supportive of the church in the north. Humanism in the north was more social than individual, moralistic than aesthetic and focused more at social reform and improvement of human relationship than individual happiness.
Renaissance education in the north focused on religious, moral and social education. Literary education was only encouraged as a means to a religious and social end than for its own sake. It is for this reason that the humanistic scholars of the north ended up attacking the church for its moral evils.
