Compendium Diez. B. Sant. 66
"Full of vigilant zeal, we are engaged in restoring the workshop of the sciences, which was almost deserted by the negligence of our forefathers, and by our own example we invite people to learn the liberal arts." This is how Charlemagne (742–814) formulated the core concern of the Carolingian educational reform in the Epistola Generalis (No. 30), with which he wanted to resume the great intellectual heritage of the Romans. One of its institutions under the leadership of Alcuin was the so-called Court School in Aachen, where wonderful works of Carolingian illumination were produced, such as the Lorsch Gospels. The present collected volume now provides a fascinating insight into the intellectual development of this multifaceted school and allows the diligence and ambition of its students to become clear: what occupied them, what writings they read, and how assiduously they strived for education even in early Carolingian times.
Compendium Diez. B. Sant. 66
This collective codex from the state library of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation is a unique document from the time of Charlemagne. Written by various students of the Hofschule, it gives a glimpse into the development of the school by showing the kind of writings the arduous students used from their lectures of various read texts and how these eventually influenced the attainment of their own style of writing. Charlemagne's level of interest in education is apparent in the poem of Fiducia, who admits to having received a reprimand from the Kaiser himself because of his mistakes. The wealth of grammatical reading texts found in this codex shows the diligence, but moreover the unequaled aspiration, pursuit, ambition of the early Carolingian period.
