   Extractions: Alcuin of York Born c. , Alcuin was educated at the cathedral school of York, of which he became master in . A deacon all of his career, he met Charlemagne in and became a leading figure at the Frankish king's court, where he established schools and libraries. He was also Charlemagne's private tutor and counselor. Alcuin wrote poetry, including a elegy on the destruction of Lindisfarne , and hagiography, including the life of St. Willibrord of Utrecht. He introduced the customs of singing the creed and of observing All Saints' Day into the Frankish church; he was also responsible for the Romanization of the Gallic mass. At the council of Frankfurt ( ), he presented arguments against the adoptionism of Felix of Urgel. One of his arguments included the use of the phrase, filioque , in the creed; the Eastern church holds Alcuin responsible for the propagation of its usage. Alcuin may have written the Libri Carolini , which attacks the Seventh Oecumenical Council, and he may have supplemented the Gregorian sacramentary. Appointed abbot of the monastery of St. Martin of Tours in , Alcuin and his followers may have been the force behind Leo III 's "surprise" coronation of

   Extractions: (Regional Memorials) Born in York, England, c. 735; died at Saint Martin's in Tours, France, May 19, 804. Alcuin studied under Saint Edbert at the York cathedral school, was ordained a deacon there, and, in 767, became its head. Under his direction it became a well-known center of learning. Alcuin travelled to Rome to obtain the pallium for his bishop and at Parma met Charlemagne who immediately enlisted his services in the cause of education. He was invited by Charlemagne to set up a school at his court in Aachen, Germany, in 781, where Charlemagne himself became a pupil. Alcuin also became Charlemagne's adviser. Alcuin was appointed abbot of Saint Martin's Abbey at Tours in 796 by Charlemagne. At Tours he restored the monastic observance with the help of Saint Benedict of Aniane Under his direction the school at Aachen became one of the greatest centers of learning in Europe. He was the moving force and spirit of Carolingian renaissance and made the Frankish court the center of European culture and scholarship. He fought illiteracy throughout the kingdom, instituted a system of elementary education, and established a higher educational system based on the study of the seven liberal arts, the trivium and the quadrivium, which was the basis of the curriculum for medieval Europe. He encouraged the use of ancient texts, was an outstanding theologian and exegete. Using his skills he fought the heresy of Adoptionism, which was condemned at the Synod of Frankfurt in 794, and exerted an influence on the Roman liturgy that endured for centuries. He wrote biblical commentaries and verse and was the author of hundreds of letters, many still extant, and a widely used rhetoric text

He was educated in the cathedral school at York, and became a monk and teacher there. He was a deacon of York when, in 781, he was returning from a visit to Rome and met the king of the Franks at Parma. King Charles the Great, known often as Charlemagne (768-814), recognised in Alcuin a scholar who could help him to achieve a renaissance of learning and reform of the Church. At the king's invitation, Alcuin joined the royal court in 781, and became one of Charlemagne's chief advisers on religious and educational matters. 'Many schools of learning were attached to monasteries and cathedrals.'

   Extractions: Alcuin of York was born into a high ranking family who lived near the East Coast of England. He was sent to York where he became a pupil at York cathedral school, Archbishop Ecgberht's School. After being a pupil at Archbishop Ecgberht's School, Alcuin remained there as a teacher, becoming headmaster of the school in 778. During his time as a teacher at this school in York Alcuin built up a fine library, one of the best 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 Alcuin accepted an invitation from Charlemagne to go to Aachen to a meeting of the leading scholars of the time. Following this meeting, he was appointed head of Charlemagne's Palace School at Aachen and 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. The development of Carolingian minuscule had, although somewhat indirectly, a large impact on the history of mathematics. It was a script which was much more readable than the old unspaced capital script which was in use before this and, as a consequence, most of the mathematical works were freshly copied into this new script in the 9

    Extractions: Free Service Community Website Search Alcuin was born c. 732 (three years before the death of Bede) and from c. 740 to c. 781 was a pupil and later a teacher and librarian at York. Alcuin of York, as he was known, has been remembered as the chief architect of educational reform on the continent under Charlemagne. He was also the emperor's advisor and contributed greatly to the so-called Carolingian Renaissance. Alcuin also modified the use of the Roman liturgy and his work is the direct ancestor of the liturgy used in Roman Catholic Church today. In his "Admonitio Generalis" Alcuin drew up a curriculum for monastic and cathedral schools and standarised and recommended texts so that not only a uniform liturgy was used in the churches throughout christian Europe but a uniform doctrine was also taught in its schools. He became abbot of Tours and died there in 804, four years after Charlemagne was proclaimed Holy Roman Emperor.

Britain: England Poet, historian and educator, Alcuin became private tutor to Charlemagne and head of the palace school at Aachen. He made important reforms in the Catholic liturgy, brought Anglo-Saxon traditions of humanism into Europe, wrote histories and poetry, and was the foremost scholar of the Carolingian Renaissance. Although he encouraged the use of "Carolingian minuscule" (the small style of handwriting that became the basis of our modern lower-case letters), whether he actually invented the alphabet himself is unknown. Alcuin left more than 300 letters that are a valuable source for the history of early medieval Europe.
