Augustine as a point of departureThis 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.
Illuminates continuity of traditionsThe author considers the
continuity of these traditions in the late sixth century in Gregory
the Great's treatise on pastoral care, "Regula pastoralis," the
early ninth-century work of Hrabanus Maurus, "De institutione
clericorum," in the Old High German poem, the "Muspilli" also from
the ninth century, then in the Middle High German works, the
Memento Mori from the late 11th century, and the poems of Frau Ava
and "Von den Letzten Dingen "from the early and late 12th century,
respectively. Translations of the Latin and early German texts
generally appear together with a version of their original texts. A
bibliography and index conclude the volume.
