Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'This is a daring and important revistionist study which challenges not only old truisms but new ones as well about education and literacy in the Carolingian world. It is also an exemplary lesson in how to combine close readings of programmatic texts with the methods of Personnenforschung as developed in Munster and Freiburg. In all, it is a splendid book with which to begin your series.'Patrick J. Geary, Professor of History, University of Florida.'...a welcome contribution ...'Janet L. Nelson, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, 1993.'The scope of this book makes it of interest as a contribution to the current debate concerning the character of medieval literacy as well as a source book for the study of early medieval monastic education.'G.H., Scriptorium, 1995.
