This article treats how the humanities return historically to Renaissance Humanism and "studia humnitas" in a Heideggerian existential-hermeneutical analyses. As historical phenomena they are funded on existence of humanists: the crisis from the late middle ages put them in danger of destruction, that necessitates them to put anew "question of beings as such in generally" and seeks their own position in the middle of beings, in order to reconstruct afresh his mind, knowledge and its disciplines. Also, it will be explained the various discipline of humanities as existential mode of humanists, but in their historical actuality. The same ontological exposition and the new understanding of beings will be meant heir as hermeneutics. Afterwards means hermeneutics classically i. e. text interpretation. Studia humanitas was based on antique texts, therefore the old languages and classical philology. Various aspects of humanistic textuality will be pointed heir too.
