Opis

Alcuin of York (735 - 804), was a famous scholar and theologian, who starting at a young age was educated at the cathedral school at York, where he became a monk and teacher, and served as a deacon. He would become the head of the school and even travelled the continent of Europe to acquire books for the great library which the cathedral school of York was widely known for. He would later become an advisor on religious scholarship and education for Charlemagne, and joined the royal court in 781. The commentary on Revelation by Alcuin draws highly upon Ambrose Autpert and the Questions and Answers Manual draws upon the Venerable Bede. Both of these works have been translated into English from the Latin for the first time and made available in this volume. The Latin version of the Questions and Answers Manual is provided in this volume as well.
