    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: The Alcuin Society was founded in 1965 by G.A. Spencer for booklovers world-wide to promote a wider appreciation of what goes into finely-wrought books. The name "Alcuin" was chosen to honour the memory of Alcuin of York (735 to 804 AD). Alcuin was a man who cared not only about books but handwriting too, which he rescued from the proliferation of bastard styles of the period. As, in effect, Charlemagne's "Minister of Culture", Alcuin selected the most pleasing and certainly the most legible script of his day, and gave it official blessing. Known as the "Caroline Miniscule", it ultimately led to our modern lower-case alphabet. To further its aims, The Alcuin Society engages in a wide range of activities, many in collaboration with the Canadian Centre fro Studies in Publishing at Simon Fraser University: lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and competitions. Annual design awards are made by a panel of judges for the best in Canadian book design. Amphora , the Society's quarterly journal, covers a wide range of topics related to the book arts: collecting, typography, type design, type-setting, calligraphy, paper-making, ornamentation, illustration, printing and binding.

    Extractions: This helmet is the authentic Gjermundbu-helmet found at Ringerike in Norway. It's been dated to approximately 970 AD and was found along several other artifacts. One of them is a beautifully decorated sword. The helmet was in poor condition and had to be reassembled from several pieces, but it is nonetheless the finest helmet ever found from this time period. In order to understand the word «Viking», one has to know the meaning of it, but we really don't. Luckily though, we know something, but it turns out to be a little different than most of us had thought. Viking is not an description of a people, even though this is how we know it today, but of something some people did from time to time. There is little doubt that doing Viking» had to do with robbery and piracy, an act of evil done by some during the summer seasons. The act of Viking started at least 40-50 years prior to their first attacks in Europe, perhaps even earlier, but in Scandinavian home waters. The attacks overseas, however, begins with the attack on the monastery at Lindisfarne in 793 AD, at least as far as the written evidence concerns. «Never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made.»

    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: 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:

    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: ISBN: 0-446-52981-8 Hiernom Rakoczy, Comes Santus Germainius, receives a letter from Bishop Alcuin of York, Abbott of Sant' Martin at Tours. This letter is brought by a soldier, Otfrid of Hersfeld, and a priest, Fratre Angelomus, Missi Dominici of Karl-Lo-Magne. Bishop Alcuin writes Rakoczy that his presence is requested at York by Karl-Lo-Magne. This may be a request, but it is more in the form of a summons, informing Rakoczy that he will face dire consequences if he ignores it. Fratre Angelomus and the soldiers will accompany Rakoczy, and one servant, to York, where he will be expected to support himself. He will also be expected to provide for the soldiers and Missi Dominici on the trip itself. Rakoczy is traveling from his home in the Wendish lands through the Frankish lands to York. He has his servant Rorthger with him. Rakoczy is forced to travel during the day time, due to the armed guards and the Missi Dominici that are with him. At least he has his native earth in his soles, and in his saddle pads. The native earth helps him cope with the sunlight. Water will be more of a problem for him though, and he just barely manages the final river crossing. Rakoczy never eats with any of his traveling party. He states this is a custom among people of his blood. They accept this about him, especially since he always makes sure that everyone with him has more then enough to eat. They finally make it to York.
