The quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns ((フランス語:querelle des Anciens et des Modernes)) began overtly as a literary and artistic debate that heated up in the early 1690s and shook the Académie française. ==Origins of the debate== It was an essential feature of the European Renaissance to praise recent discoveries and achievements as a means to assert the independence of modern culture from the institutions and wisdom inherited from Classical (Greek and Roman) authorities. From the first years of the sixteenth century, a key conceit used to this end by the most eminent humanists (François Rabelais, Girolamo Cardano, Jean Bodin, Louis LeRoy, Tommaso Campanella, Francis Bacon, etc.) was that of the "Three Greatest Inventions of Modern Times" — the printing press, firearms, and the nautical compass — which together allowed the Moderns to communicate, exert power, and travel at distances never imagined by the Ancients.〔Boruchoff, 2012.〕 When the quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns later arose in France, this conceit of "Three Greatest Inventions of Modern Times" would almost invariably be adduced as evidence of the Moderns' superiority. The debate became known as 'a quarrel' after the frequently made pun on Charles Perrault's title ''Parallel of the Ancients and the Moderns'', the French word 'querelle' being substituted for 'parallele'.
