I can only find assurance in the promise that your people will find peace in heaven, where no one makes war. As gold is purified by fire, so you purify souls by these bodily tribulations, making them ready to be received above the stars in your heavenly home.

Hi Tony,
... late comes it, but it comes ...
It is in fact named after Alcuin of York [1].
Alcuin's sequence [2] does not only give the number of incongruent triangles
of given perimeter N with integer sides, but also the number of ways in which N
empty casks, N casks half-full of wine and N full casks can be distributed to
3 persons in such a way that each one gets the same number of casks and the
same amount of wine, and that's the link to Alcuin.
Alcuin is, more or less reluctantly, considered as the author of the Latin

A History Of Punctuation
"The Nowing ones complane of my book the fust edition had no stops I put in A nuf here and they may pepper and salt it as they please." -Lord Timothy Dexter Wikipedia defines punctuation marks as "written symbols that do not correspond to either phonemes (sounds) of a spoken language, nor to lexemes (words and phrases) of a written language, but which serve to organize or clarify written language. The rules of what punctuation marks should be used in what circumstances vary with language, location and time." These rules are constantly evolving and certain aspects of punctuation are style - the author's choice. In her award-winning "The Basic Cozy Punctuation Course" , Marie Rackham puts it this way: "Punctuation is used, in printing and writing, to imitate speech. When we speak we use voice inflections, stops, pauses, and even body language to indicate our meaning. For example, when we ask a question our voice rises at the end of a sentence. This inflective rise is a vocal question mark. When we make a statement our voice drops at the end of the sentence. This inflective drop is a vocal period. When we verbally list items we pause after each item. This verbal pause is a vocal comma."

ARTH Courses ARTH 212 ARTH 212 Assignments CAROLINGIAN CULTURE
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:
Charles, by the grace of God, King of the Franks and Lombards and Patrician of the Romans, to Baugulf and to all the congregation, also to the faithful committed to you, we have directed a loving greeting by our ambassadors in the name of omnipotent God.

Flaccus Albinus Alcuin (about May 19 ) was a monk from York , England.

He again went to Rome in , to fetch the pallium for Archbishop Eanbald I of York , and at Parma met Charlemagne.

Excerpt
I WILL USE THE TERM C HRISTIAN HUMANISM will use the term Christian humanism in this article in the sense used by the "Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World" ( Gaudium et Spes ) of the Second Vatican Council. This use of the term includes cultural values when a man applies himself to the various disciplines of philosophy, of history, and of mathematical and natural science, and when he cultivates the arts, he can do very much to elevate the human family to a more sublime understanding of truth, goodness, and beauty, and to the formation of judgments which embody universal values. But most of all, it emphasizes social responsibility: "Thus we are witnesses of the birth of a new humanism, one in which man is defined first of all by his responsibility toward his brothers and toward history."

Singmaster, D., Hadley, J.
Abstract
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.

The Islamic influence on medieval art was concentrated in southern Europe because the ruler of France, Charles Martel, halted the Muslim invasion. The Germanic Angles and Saxons were the ones to invade the British Isles in the 5th century and the Franks invaded Gaul (hence the name France).
The aesthetic sense of the Celtic and Germanic peoples were essentially abstract . They preferred extremely complex abstract shapes and rich decorative surfaces to realistic depictions of objects and people. The most typical works are elaborate jeweled brooches and purse cover. The purse cover, from Sutton Hoo burial ship, is an example of cloisons or compartments formed with metal strips and liquid enamel (called cloisonne
