Descrizione The Intellectual Foundations of the English Benedictine Reform
This book explores the foundations of the intellectual renaissance in late-tenth-century England, including both the English Benedictine reform and the establishment by Æ thelwold, Bishop of Winchester, of his influential school. The early stages of Æ thelwold's scholarly career are explored and new light is shed on the role which King Æ thelstan's cosmopolitan court played. Two widely influential Old English texts are definitively attributed to Æ thelwold and his circle, which attest to the importance that the reformers attached to the vernacular.
