In the total range of his talents he was unequaled by any other man of his time. Born in or near York, Alcuin was early entrusted to the cathedral school there under the master teacher, Egbert, who had been a pupil of the great English historian Bede. When Egbert became archbishop of York, Alcuin had the rare good fortune to study under the scholars Aelbert and Eadbert. With the former, Alcuin visited the Continent to secure books and art treasures to enrich the library at York, which until its demolition in the Danish wars was the greatest library in the Western world. Alcuin's education was firmly classical, since at this time the vast resources of Mediterranean erudition were being poured into England by such men as Paulinus, Theodore, and Hadrian. And under the impact of Bede, such secular studies as literature, science, history, and music, which were uncommon in early monastic schools, were also included in the curriculum. Dedicated to learning, Alcuin was promoted by the time he was 30 from student to teacher, and later to master. In the meantime he was ordained deacon, but he never advanced to the priesthood.

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 ...

Traction Allchinfiles Converters and Calculators Born: 735AD York, Yorkshire, England Died: 19 May 804AD Tours, France Alcuin of York lived near the East Coast of England and was born into a high ranking family. He was sent to York where he became a pupil at Archbishop Ecgberht's School, York cathedral. He remained there as a teacher, becoming headmaster of the school in 778. During this time Alcuin built up one of the best libraries in Europe, and made the school one of the most important centres of learning in Europe. He wrote a long poem describing the men associated with York's history before he left for the continent. In 781 Charlemagne invited Alcuin to go to Aachen to attend a meeting of the leading scholars of the time. Alcuin accepted and, following this meeting, he was appointed head of Charlemagne's Palace School at Aachen. There he developed the Carolingian minuscule, a clear script which has become the basis of the way the letters of the present Roman alphabet are written. Before leaving Aachen, Alcuin was responsible for the most precious of Carolingian codices, now called the Golden Gospels. These were a series of illuminated masterpieces written largely in gold, often on purple coloured vellum.

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

Alcuin of York Alcuin was born in Northumbria around 735 and became Bishop of York in 767. In 781, he transferred to the court of Charlemagne, where he became Master of the Palace School. As an advisor to the King, he distinguished himself as a political theorist and educational reformer. His actions in the refutation of Adoptionism comprise only a small part of his contribution to the intellectual development of the Carolingian court. The Adoptionist controversy started as an internal debate among Spanish theologians. Elipandus and Felix believed that their terminology was orthodox and had been approved by western theologians. In fact, their terminology was common to the Mozarabic liturgy to which they were accustomed. Understanding this, Alcuin argued that Adoptionists misinterpreted the liturgical texts from which they were arguing, and confused the terms "assumption" and "adoption", believing that the two were interchangeable. Why were the semantics of this issue so important to Alcuin? In a time where the Church was moving toward unification of liturgical rites, can the Adoptionist debate be seen as part of a larger issue challenging the long-standing independence of the Visigothic Church and the See of Toledo?

30. How To Use The Psalms According To Alcuin Of York How to Use the Psalms According to alcuin of york. Introduction and Translationby Michael Treschow. Kelowna, 1994. Introduction http://www.ouc.bc.ca/english/michaeltreschow/main/psalms_according_to_alcuin.htm

Home How to Use the Psalms According to Alcuin of York Introduction and Translation by Michael Treschow Kelowna, 1994 Introduction While contributing to the reform of the Carolingian church, Alcuin of York (d. 804) wrote a short work called De Psalmorum Usu Liber (A Book on the Use of the Psalms). It may sound like a treatise but it is essentially a devotional work, offering prayers and meditations based on the psalms. The editors of the Patrologia Latina took another of Alcuin’s shorter works ( Officia per Ferias ) and set it as the preface to these devotions. It fits there very aptly, for it explains the nature of the Christian's devotional use of these ancient Hebrew prayers. This preface lists nine uses of the psalms in private devotion whereby they can help with personal need in various troubles or with the personal desire for a greater love of the Lord. Thus they lie outside the liturgical use of the psalms. But they assume the intimate knowledge of the psalms that comes from the regular liturgy of the daily offices. Alcuin urges his readers to take such knowledge and use it in their own personal lives to seek the Lord and his blessing. Alcuin’s discussion assumes a very close familiarity with the psalms. He does not usually refer to them by number, but by their opening words or

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.

Anglo-Saxon Study of Language Sarah Crellin 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).

Alcuin and the others emphasized the study of scriptures and philosophical texts in their original languages, as opposed to Latin translations which had been much more common.

St Alcuin St Alcuin of York ( Flaccus Albinus ), abbot of Tours , died 20 May 804 From a medieval drawing Alcuin was an Englishman from York , born into a noble family about 730, and educated by a pupil of Bede . Having become a deacon, he was made head of the cathedral school at York around 770. In 781 he was asked by the Emperor Charlemagne to become his minister of education. He accepted, and established schools at many cathedrals and monasteries, and promoted learning in every way he could. In the preceding years of constant wars and invasions, many ancient writings had been lost. Alcuin established scriptoria, dedicated to the copying and preservation of ancient manuscripts, both pagan and Christian. That we have as much as we do of the writings of classical Roman authors is largely due to Alcuin and his scribes. (He is credited with the invention of cursive script, in which the letters are connected for greater speed of writing.) To Alcuin , backed by Charlemagne, belongs much of the credit for the revision and organization of the Latin liturgy, the preservation of many of the ancient prayers, and the development of plainchant. He and his fellow theologians at Charlemagne's capital of Aachen (or Aix-le- Chappelle ) were important advocates of the doctrine that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son jointly. Unfortunately, the East, which regarded the Emperor at
