In this major intellectual biography of Alcuin (d. 804), the most
prominent Anglo-Saxon scholar at the court of Charlemagne, Donald
Bullough deploys a lifetime's expertise in the study of early
medieval manuscripts. Concentrating on Alcuin's early years in
Northumbria and then his time at the Carolingian court, Bullough
reassesses the chronology of Alcuin's career and writings, assesses
his use of patristic and insular writings, and explores the
contemporary significance of his large output. At the core of this
book lies a fundamental reassessment of the dating of Alcuin's
letters: in so doing, it reveals the patterns of intellectual
exchange and textual community that characterised the first phase
of the Carolingian Renaissance. It thus offers a uniquely detailed
and nuanced exploration of the life and ideas of the most
influential early medieval scholar.
