"Petrarch's Conception of the 'Dark Ages'". Speculum. 17 (2). Cambridge MA: Medieval Academy of America: 227–228. doi:10.2307/2856364. JSTOR 2856364. S2CID 161360211.

Petrarch was the very first to speak of the Middle Ages as a dark age, one that separated him from the riches and pleasures of classical antiquity and that broke the connection between his own age and the civilization of the Greeks and the Romans.

  • Ker, W. P. (1904). The Dark Ages. New York: C. Scribner's Sons. p. 1. The Dark Ages and the Middle Ages — or the Middle Age — used to be the same; two names for the same period. But they have come to be distinguished, and the Dark Ages are now no more than the first part of the Middle Age, while the term mediaeval is often restricted to the later centuries, about 1100 to 1500, the age of chivalry, the time between the first Crusade and the Renaissance. This was not the old view, and it does not agree with the proper meaning of the name.
  • Halsall, Guy (2005). Fouracre, Paul (ed.). The New Cambridge Medieval History: c.500-c.700. Vol. 1. Cambridge University Press. p. 90. In terms of the sources of information available, this is most certainly not a Dark Age.... Over the last century, the sources of evidence have increased dramatically, and the remit of the historian (broadly defined as a student of the past) has expanded correspondingly.
  • Joseph Gies (1994). Cathedral, Forge, and Waterwheel: Technology and Invention in the Middle Ages. HarperCollins Publishers. p. 2. ISBN 9780060165901. In the course of recent decades, the very expression 'Dark Ages' has fallen into disrepute among historians.

When Science & Christianity Meet. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. p. 7. ISBN 9780226482156. According to widespread popular belief, the period of European history known as the Middle Ages was a time of barbarism, ignorance and superstitious. The epithet 'Dark Ages' often applied to it nicely captures this opinion. As for the ills that threatened literacy, learning, and especially science during the Middle Ages, blame is most often laid at the feet of the Christian church...

  • Encyclopædia Britannica Archived 2015-05-04 at the Wayback Machine "It is now rarely used by historians because of the value judgment it implies. Though sometimes taken to derive its meaning from the fact that little was then known about the period, the term's more usual and pejorative sense is of a period of intellectual darkness and barbarity."

  • Baronius's actual starting-point for the "dark age" was 900 (annus Redemptoris nongentesimus), but that was an arbitrary rounding off that was due mainly to his strictly annalistic approach. Later historians,m such as Marco Porri in his Catholic History of the Church (Storia della Chiesa) Archived 2011-07-16 at the Wayback Machine and the Lutheran Christian Cyclopedia ("Saeculum Obscurum") Archived 2009-10-19 at the Wayback Machine, have tended to amend it to the more historically significant date of 888 and often rounded it down further to 880. The first weeks of 888 witnessed both the final break-up of the Carolingian Empire and the death of its deposed ruler Charles the Fat. Unlike the end of the Carolingian Empire, however, the end of the Carolingian Renaissance cannot be precisely dated, and it was the latter development that was responsible for the "lack of writers" that Baronius, as a historian, found so irksome.
