Abstract

This paper argues that the way Alcuin implemented new material into curriculum is essentially the same as we do today. The only major difference lies in the relationship of the new material to the new material.

Qui legit, ingenium veterum mirabile laudet:—“He, who reads this, may praise the old, wonderful genius.”
