Opis

This study examines Christian education in early vernacular texts of the German Middle Ages on the basis of Latin traditions of learning and teaching from Late Antiquity. The point of departure is Augustine's De Doctrina Christiana in which Augustine not only consolidated Christian and pagan traditions but combined them into a program of Christian education.
