	16th century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a means of recording the passage of time, the 16th century was that century which lasted from 1501 to 1600.
		15th century - 16th century - 17th century

	CDC - Megadrought and Megadeath in 16th Century Mexico
		The scenario for the climatic, ecologic, and sociologic mediation of the 16th-century cocoliztli epidemics is reminiscent of the rodent population dynamics involved in the outbreak of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome caused by Sin Nombre Virus on the Colorado Plateau in 1993 (8,9).
		The native population collapse in 16th century Mexico was a demographic catastrophe with one of the highest death rates in history.
		Tree-ring evidence, reconstructed rainfall over Durango, Mexico during the 16th century (6), adds support to the hypothesis that unusual climatic conditions may have interacted with host-population dynamics and the cocoliztli virus to aggravate the epidemics of 1545 and 1576.

	Sixteenth Century
		In the second half of the century, the dynastic struggles continued and the characters of many of the emerging nations of Europe were formed.
		The second half of the century was consumed with the Wars of Religion, which were as much a political and civil conflict as a religious one.
		The economy was a prosperous one at the beginning of the century, with even the average peasant able to afford a bit of meat in the stew pot.

	16th Century Europe
		By the end of the 16th Century, upper class European clothing bore not the slightest resemblance to dress of the beginning of the Century, and it stylistically was very far removed from the dress of other cultures.
		The late 16th Century is commonly and rightly associated with Queen Elizabeth I of England, and so is often referred to as the Elizabethan era.
		Puffing and slashing was the perfect visual metaphor for the 16th Century, because it suggests a society that is literally bursting at the seams with new ideas and problems.

	16th Century
		It was the source for most of the subsequent Sixteenth and Seventeenth century representations of the city.
		Other indications even suggest that the original drawing may have been made in the closing years of the Fifteenth century.
		Subsequent additions must have been made to that original as is shown, for example, by the representation of the armies of the Ottoman Turk, Selim, who captured Cairo in 1517.

	HOASM: The Venetian Style
		The great event in the domain of sacred music in early 16th century Venice was the election, in 1527, with the support of the Doge Andrea Gritti, of Willaert as maestro di cappella of St. Mark's.
		The effect of his residence in Venice is evident in the technical resources of sacred polyphony throughout Italy--including Palestrina 's--during the whole of the century.
		Having the choir divided for the antiphonal singing of part-music was a device known in the north; moreover, it was not new to Italian soil, but the old practice was to achieve new life at the hands of Willaert (who, however, is not credited with its invention by Zarlino, as is often claimed).

	whhs bushbury 16th century
		In the sixteenth century the old route past the church was still the main road from Stafford to Wolverhampton and Warwick.
		Rowden Lanes appears in the parish register well into the eighteenth century, and there is a grave in the churchyard of a resident of that place dated 1845.
		The Reverend Stebbing Shaw, writing at the end of the eighteenth century in his "History and Antiquities of Staffordshire", refers to "Bushbury Great Field" but it has not been possible to identify its boundaries.

	Embellishment
		There are few centuries that rival the 16th century in the quantity and quality of the embellishment used on the clothing of the upper classes in Europe.
		Because everything was sewn by hand in the 16th century then it would be apparent that if you wanted to reproduce the "look" you would stitch everything by hand.
		I find that another excellent source for 16th century fashions are in the portraits of the time.

	TIMELINE 16th CENTURY page of ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION WEB GUIDE
		The 16th Century was a time of great exploration, religious turmoil, political turmoil, scientific advances, and extraordinary literature.
		The flavor of this masterpiece can be found in the late 20th century works of the Strugatsy brothers (always poking fun at Soviet stuffed shirts), the comic fiction of Robert Sheckley, Frederic Brown, or any of the iconoclastic works of SF which exalt the individual.
		Oddly enough, those chivalric romances were not quite killed by Cervantes, and survived in mutated form in the fantasy novels of the late 20th century.

	16th Century Persian Women's Clothing
		With a careful study of 16th century Persian miniature painting, along with an understanding of clothing construction from neighboring areas, it is possible to make a fairly accurate reproduction of women's clothing from Persia.
		The Ottoman Turks during the 16th century wore multiple layers, and many of the surviving Ottoman garments are cut to make the most use of the available fabric (Martin, Ottoman).
		Ottoman Turkish clothing of the 16th century used brocaded textiles (Scarce, Ottoman 14), and it is likely that brocades were also used in Persian clothing.

	The State Hermitage Museum: Collection Highlights
		The 18th century, when the national school of painting flourished, is represented by artists who brought fame to England far beyond its shores.
		The romantic mood also influenced portraitists as the 19th century dawned, and Thomas Lawrence was the leading exponent of the style.
		A younger contemporary of Kneller, John Wootton, is closely associated with the development of the hunting genre in painting, a characteristic example of which is the work Dogs and a Magpie.

	The identity of the mathematical practitioner in 16th-century England
		At the beginning of the 16th century mathematics and the mathematical sciences were of minor importance in the two English universities.
		Throughout the century mathematics was therefore always available in the universities and their constituent colleges, even if the extent of its availability is not always apparent from statutes.
		Of course, books had been printed in England since the 15th century, but the first printed mathematical book in the vernacular was the anonymous ‘An introduction for to lerne to recken with the pen or with the counters’ (1537); Robert Recorde’s much better-known ‘Grounde of Artes’ followed in the early 1540s.

	16th Century Lutheran & Orthodox Dialogue
		Already by the sixteenth century language and culture was a barrier between the East and the West.
		Thus, it is extremely noteworthy that a group of Lutheran theologians from the University of Tübingen in Germany during the last quarter of the sixteenth century would initiate a dialogue with — and even seek approval from — the Patriarch of Constantinople, leader of the Orthodox Christians under Ottoman oppression in the East.
		It also would be naïve to suggest that theology alone was the driving force behind this sixteenth century correspondence.

	Early 16th Century Scottish Lowland Names
		In the 16th century, the language of the Scottish Lowlands, including the towns and royal court, was Scots; it was closely related to contemporary English.
		Note therefore that the 'meaning' or significance of a 16th century Lowland person's surname was that their father had had that surname, and nothing more.
		In 16th century Scotland, people did not have the notion that there was one and only one correct way to spell someone's name.

	UNESCO Courier: 16th century AD
		In the middle of the sixteenth century the women of the sultan's seraglio moved into the harem of the Topkapi, a new palace which was to be the imperial residence until the nineteenth century.
		The black eunuchs who had charge of it from the end of the sixteenth century retained their power and influence until the end of the imperial period.
		A document dating from the beginning of the seventeenth century puts the figure at 456.

	16th century Satanism - an imaginary religion
		This form of Satanism was invented by the Roman Catholic Church in the 15th century CE, just prior to the time of the Witch burnings.
		Outrageous claims have been made of as many as 60,000 ritual killings a year in North America, and of baby breeding prisons where young women are kept continually pregnant so that their infants can be taken and sacrificed.
		No criminal investigation in the past 300 years is known to have found hard evidence of Satanic Ritual Abuse (with the possible exception of a case in Greece during 1995).

	Constructing 16th Century Welsh Names
		The sources for this pamphlet are a collection of late-16th century toll records from Pembrokeshire and summaries of legal procedings from Chancery records of the first half of the 16th century.
		The 16th century was in many ways a transition in Welsh naming practices between the Welsh way of doing things and the English way.
		This pamphlet does not attempt to describe all the possible names and name patterns that could be found in 16th century Wales, but rather is a guide to how to construct a name that would be "typical" for the time and place.

		However the 17th Century is further complicated by a considerable fragmentation of fashion in the West.
		The most powerful women in the second half of the Century are mainly mistresses, and so the "power" look for women becomes increasingly sexy.

	Tarot Magick in the 16th Century
		It seems to me as well that attention should now be focused on the 16th century (and perhaps earlier) in answering questions concerning the origin of alternative uses of playing cards and Tarot.
		The 18th century, while obviously still the temporal focus for the beginning of our modern, occult, versions of Tarot, must now be seen as an inheritor of an already long-established tradition of Tarot magick (which most likely includes Tarot divination).
		So, again, it appears that a non-gaming usage of Tarot has not yet been confirmed for dates earlier than the mid-18th century, at least not in the more scholarly works devoted to the history of the deck(s).

	[History] > 16th Century - Ayin - Great China Earthquake
		This Sixteenth Century earthquake correlates perfectly with the common theme connecting Spoke 16 of the Inner Wheel of Revelation with Zechariah on Spoke 16, Cycle 2 of the Bible Wheel.
		A similar correlation between a major historical calamity and the chapter sequence of Revelation is seen in the Black Death of the Fourteenth Century.
		And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

		Canvas was used as a base material from the fourteenth century until the middle of the seventeenth century, but velvet was more common during the Tudor period and satin during the Stuart.
		It appears to be a descendent of the fan pattern common throughout Europe in the seventeenth century.
		Cottage roof designs, so called from the slanting lines at top and bottom of the panel, are very characteristic of English binding in the last quarter of the seventeenth century and first quarter of the eighteenth century, but they continued in use until late in that century and they are not absolutely peculiar to England.
