Do you know what year the renaissance started and ended?

OpenStudy (braves12):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, the renaissance started about 1300, and ended in about 1700. But the compass was invented by the Chinese Han Dynasty in 206 BC, so that was before the renaissance, and the question asks for an invention during the renaissance, so the compass is eliminated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The astrolabe was invented in about 150 BC, and that was before the renaissance, so that is also eliminated. That leaves us with 2 choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The printing press was invented in 1439 during the renaissance, and the clock was also invented during the renaissance, in 1656. But which one do you think is most important, the clock or the printing press?
