The noble-born Englishman had risen to the leadership of the school at York, earning himself an international reputation. Charles convinced him to share his talents with his empire and bestowed on him the abbeys of Ferrières and St. Loup. Steeped in the pedagogical tradition of Bede, Alcuin stirred the Franks to acquire the little learning they were to possess in the so called "Dark Ages."

    Extractions: The ideal of "renovatio" was not just a political idea, but it was a cultural idea for Charlemagne. His ambition to restore the authority of Imperial Rome was matched by his ambition to revive Classical culture. Charlemagne and his advisors had observed the decline of educational skills throughout the Empire. He wanted to restore education to classical standards. Related to this was his concern with copying books. He was concerned with restoring and preserving Classical texts and establishing authoritative versions of the Bible and Liturgical books. As a part of this the Carolingians developed a new script, the Caroline minuscule, that would become a standard for the next 400 years and would later be revived by the humanists in the fifteenth century. That script has in turn become the foundation of our modern scripts. Review the web-page dedicated to the Origins of the Carolingian Scripts Charlemagne's interest in promoting learning and culture throughout his realm is evident in this letter to Baugulf, abbot of Fulda:

    Extractions: (An annotated translation of Propositiones ad acuendos juvenes, attributed to Alcuin of York. Translated by John Hadley. With comments by David Singmaster and John Hadley. Extended and corrected version. Oct 1995, 28pp.) The Propositiones ad Acuendos Juvenes of Alcuin of York is frequently cited as the earliest problem collection in Latin. The text contains 56 problems, including 9 to 11 major types of problem which appear for the first time, 2 major types which appear in the West for the first time and 3 novel variations of known problems. By any standard, such a collection is of major historical interest, so it is surprising that a critical edition was not prepared until Folkerts' edition of 1978, and it is even more surprising that no English translation has ever been produced. In 1984, I (DS) obtained copies of the text and met John Hadley, a Catholic priest doing an Open University summer school. Hadley kindly translated the text and provided some comments. A bit later I learned of Folkerts' critical edition and obtained copies. In 1990 and 1991, I had several requests for Hadley's translation, so I typed out the translation and added notes on Alcuin, on the sources and on the history of the various problems, partly derived from Folkerts and partly from my own research in the field. Folkerts gives many more details than the present, more popular, version. It has recently been realised that the river crossing problems and the crossing a desert problem which appear here for the first time are probably the earliest known combinatorial problems.

    Extractions: BOOKWAVES (Words on Books) for KZYX by Tony Miksak There are certain people who make a community richer just for living in it. They go their own way, pursue their happiness, and share what they discover. I once embarrassed local book-binder Betty Storz, naming her a "local treasure," and now I'm going to embarrass Mendocino artists Joyce and Dorsey Alexander with the same designation, only plural. The occasion for this round of embarrassing praise is the publication of Dorsey Alexander's latest hand-made book, titled Fiery Letters for short, and The Fiery Letters that Cadmus Sowed in Greece for long. The book is available in a numbered edition of 200. It runs to only 18 pages, is hand-sewn and assembled, printed on beautiful papers in shades of taupe, orange and brilliant white, and features the ideas and calligraphy of Dorsey and the woodcuts of his wife, Joyce Alexander. Fiery Letters is a short book that distills a lifetime of study and observation about letters and their meaning. It is about half the length of a typical children's picture book, and like a children's book it's easy to read. Big ideas are distilled to their essence or simply suggested, or, should I say, suggested simply. Dorsey writes, "Words are by far the most powerful force man has discovered. They are pure idea and being idea have the creative force to bring new things into existence. Spoken words die on the air waves even if, as Emerson suggests, they resound through the universe."

    Extractions: Anglo-Saxon Study of Language A small, but important, segment of the Anglo-Saxon population were conscious of formal aspects of language and how they applied these aspects in their works. From the seventh to the eleventh centuries the literate population in Anglo-Saxon England was comprised mainly of the clergy, priests, monks, nuns, royalty and aristocracy (Gneuss, 4). These Anglo-Saxon scholars studied grammatical texts on Latin primarily (in Latin, and later in English) and this study formed the basis for any analysis that they did on Old English (OE). Among the literate there eventually emerged an academic elite who produced written works in English, examined OE grammar through their study of Latin, and even made attempts at creating a standardized version of OE. Education in the Seventh and Eighth Centuries The tenth and eleventh centuries were particularly rich in the production of OE prose works and language standards; however, the backdrop to these developments is thought to be a relatively “high standard of education and learning” in the seventh and eight centuries (Gneuss, 5). Alcuin of York, for example, was an Anglo-Saxon who lived in King Charlemagne’s court at Aachen from 781 to 794 (Garrison, 24).

    Extractions: Alcuin's ‘De virtutibus et vitiis liber’ and Paulinus of Aquileia's ‘Liber exhortationis’ My paper investigates one means by which clerics introduced their ecclesiastical culture into aristocratic courts of the Carolingian period, the moralizing handbook on virtues and vices. Around 800, Alcuin of York wrote the ‘De virtutibus et vitiis liber’ for Count Wido of the Breton March; Alcuin's friend Paulinus, patriarch of Aquileia, wrote the ‘Liber exhortationis’ for Duke Eric of Friuli, apparently at Alcuin's suggestion. A lack of time for religious observances, especially while on military campaigns, aroused in these two Carolingian magnates anxieties about their chances of salvation. Alcuin and Paulinus reassured their noble friends that they could be saved, if they conducted themselves according to the moralizing lessons contained in their handbooks. Both the ‘De virtutibus et vitiis liber’ and ‘Liber exhortationis’ contain readings excerpted and adapted from monastic authors and sermons. The monastic culture of both handbooks centers on the active virtues, prayer, and meditative reading of the Bible which bring about recovery of God's image within the soul of Christ's “soldier”. Alcuin and Paulinus emphasized certain aspects of this monastic culture which they found suited to aristocratic laymen fighting valiantly to extend the frontiers of the

    Extractions: Alcuin of York, Abbot of Tours 20 May Lesser Festival Teacher of the Faith White Alcuin was descended from a noble Northumbrian family. Although the date and place of his birth are not known, he was probably born in the year 735 in or near York. He entered the cathedral school there as a child, continued as a Scholar and became Master. In 781, he went to Aachen as adviser to Charlemagne on religious and educational matters and as Master of the Palace School, where he established an important library. Although not a monk and in deacon's orders, in 796 he became Abbot of Tours, where he died in the year 804. Alcuin wrote poetry, revised the lectionary, compiled a sacramentary and was involved in other significant liturgical work. God of Wisdom, Eternal Light,

    Extractions: 750 A.D. In the year 750 AD the only prominent mathematician alive was Alcuin of York, who was 15 years old. He studied at the cathedral school at York until he became the headmaster of that school in 778. In 781, Charlemagne invited Alcuin to a meet with other important scholars to discuss educational reform in England. The king of France also appointed Alcuin to headmaster of the Palace School at Aechan. In the year 796 Alcuin was appointed abbot of the St Martin at Tours. He died eight years later in 804. Alcuin wrote texts on astronomy, arithmetic, and geometry in question and answer format. It is possible that Alcuin wrote a collection of puzzle problems called, Problems for the Quickening of the Mind , but this fact is disputed. Outside of being a mathematician, Alcuin was a scholar, poet, and educator. His most famous accomplishment was the development of the Carolingian minuscule, which became the basis of the present Roman alphabet. Author : Tim Lucas References:

Z Alhwin, Alchoin ; Latin Albinus , also Flaccus An eminent educator, scholar, and theologian born about 735; died 19 May, 804. He came of noble Northumbrian parentage, but the place of his birth is a matter of dispute. It was probably in or near York. While still a mere child, he entered the cathedral school founded at that place by Archbishop Egbert. His aptitude, and piety early attracted the attention of Aelbert, master of the school, as well as of the Archbishop, both of whom devoted special attention to his instruction. In company with his master, he made several visits to the continent while a youth, and when, in 767, Aelbert succeeded to the Archbishopric of York, the duty of directing the school naturally devolved upon Alcuin. During the fifteen years that followed, he devoted himself to the work of instruction at York, attracting numerous students and enriching the already valuable library. While returning from Rome in March, 781, he met Charlemagne at Parma, and was induced by that prince, whom he greatly admired, to remove to France and take up residence at the royal court as "Master of the Palace School". The school was kept at
