The Ecole Glossary Alcuin of York Born c. , Alcuin was educated at the cathedral school of York, of which he became master in . A deacon all of his career, he met Charlemagne in and became a leading figure at the Frankish king's court, where he established schools and libraries. He was also Charlemagne's private tutor and counselor. Alcuin wrote poetry, including a elegy on the destruction of Lindisfarne , and hagiography, including the life of St. Willibrord of Utrecht. He introduced the customs of singing the creed and of observing All Saints' Day into the Frankish church; he was also responsible for the Romanization of the Gallic mass. At the council of Frankfurt ( ), he presented arguments against the adoptionism of Felix of Urgel. One of his arguments included the use of the phrase, filioque , in the creed; the Eastern church holds Alcuin responsible for the propagation of its usage. Alcuin may have written the Libri Carolini , which attacks the Seventh Oecumenical Council, and he may have supplemented the Gregorian sacramentary. Appointed abbot of the monastery of St. Martin of Tours in , Alcuin and his followers may have been the force behind Leo III 's "surprise" coronation of

ALINK="#669999" BACKGROUND="marble.jpg"> Pope Saint Celestine V (Regional Memorials) May 19 Blessed Alcuin of York, OSB Abbot (PC) (also known as Flaccus Albinus) Born in York, England, c. 735; died at Saint Martin's in Tours, France, May 19, 804. Alcuin studied under Saint Edbert at the York cathedral school, was ordained a deacon there, and, in 767, became its head. Under his direction it became a well-known center of learning. Alcuin travelled to Rome to obtain the pallium for his bishop and at Parma met Charlemagne who immediately enlisted his services in the cause of education. He was invited by Charlemagne to set up a school at his court in Aachen, Germany, in 781, where Charlemagne himself became a pupil. Alcuin also became Charlemagne's adviser. Alcuin was appointed abbot of Saint Martin's Abbey at Tours in 796 by Charlemagne. At Tours he restored the monastic observance with the help of Saint Benedict of Aniane Under his direction the school at Aachen became one of the greatest centers of learning in Europe. He was the moving force and spirit of Carolingian renaissance and made the Frankish court the center of European culture and scholarship. He fought illiteracy throughout the kingdom, instituted a system of elementary education, and established a higher educational system based on the study of the seven liberal arts, the trivium and the quadrivium, which was the basis of the curriculum for medieval Europe. He encouraged the use of ancient texts, was an outstanding theologian and exegete. Using his skills he fought the heresy of Adoptionism, which was condemned at the Synod of Frankfurt in 794, and exerted an influence on the Roman liturgy that endured for centuries. He wrote biblical commentaries and verse and was the author of hundreds of letters, many still extant, and a widely used rhetoric text

Although he encouraged the use of "Carolingian minuscule" (the small style of handwriting that became the basis of our modern lower-case letters), whether he actually invented the alphabet himself is unknown. Alcuin left more than 300 letters that are a valuable source for the history of early medieval Europe.

Alcuin of York A.D. 730-804 After the fall of Rome, Western Europe lapsed into illiteracy. Kings could not read; bishops could not spell. Learning retreated to the monasteries, where monks spent endless hours copying books by hand. Writing became chaotic. One monk could not read what another had written, but copied it anyway. The text of even the Latin Bible was becoming distorted. Charlemagne was deeply concerned. In A.D. 781, he invited Alcuin of York, an English scholar and churchman, to come and help. At Charlemagne's orders, Alcuin set up a school that all monks attended. He also set up the following writing standards that are still our conventions today: Uniform spelling The Carolingian style of well-formed lowercase letters Capitals to begin a sentence and lowercase to continue Space between words Standard punctuation Division into sentences and paragraphs [Previous] Home Site Index About ...

He was educated in the cathedral school at York, and became a monk and teacher there. He was a deacon of York when, in 781, he was returning from a visit to Rome and met the king of the Franks at Parma. King Charles the Great, known often as Charlemagne (768-814), recognised in Alcuin a scholar who could help him to achieve a renaissance of learning and reform of the Church. At the king's invitation, Alcuin joined the royal court in 781, and became one of Charlemagne's chief advisers on religious and educational matters. 'Many schools of learning were attached to monasteries and cathedrals.'

Alcuin of York, as he was known, has been remembered as the chief architect of educational reform on the continent under Charlemagne. He was also the emperor's advisor and contributed greatly to the so-called Carolingian Renaissance. Alcuin also modified the use of the Roman liturgy and his work is the direct ancestor of the liturgy used in Roman Catholic Church today. In his "Admonitio Generalis" Alcuin drew up a curriculum for monastic and cathedral schools and standarised and recommended texts so that not only a uniform liturgy was used in the churches throughout christian Europe but a uniform doctrine was also taught in its schools. He became abbot of Tours and died there in 804, four years after Charlemagne was proclaimed Holy Roman Emperor.

Traction Allchinfiles Converters and Calculators The following information was submitted by Michael Allchin of Wiltshire It's interesting to read your understanding of some of the ancient history of the clan. It's encouraging that we also have had this idea of the name stemming from a d'Alquin as one of our family myths - without, it has to be said, any evidence of it being true! Here are a few more points which we have dredged up - again, mostly anecdotal. The link before the 11th century is supposed to find its way as far as a monk by the name of Alcuin, who started his rise to fame in York some time in the 8th century, in the Bede school of learning. It was some rise, too - he eventually held the post of Clerical Advisor to Charlemagne, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire: considering the importance of religious guidance to such a figure at such a time, this must have been a rather major post. He was given abbeys to run at Troyes and then Tours, at which he established important centres and traditions of (mainly theological) learning. There is now a college in his honour at York University (www.york.ac.uk/univ/coll/alc)
