Collingwood thought were “superfi cial to absurdity.” It was the Enlightenment historians, wrote Collingwood, “who invented the grotesque idea that the Renaissance in Europe was due to the fall of Constantinople and the consequent expulsion of scholars in search of new homes.” For Collingwood, who usually had so much sympathy for the peculiar beliefs of the past, such personal sorts of causal attribution were “typical . . . o f a bankruptcy of historical method which in despair of genuine explanation acquiesces in the most trivial causes for the vastest effects” (The Idea of History [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1946], 80–81).
