A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the intellectual revival that Charlemagne fostered at his court in Aachen. They focus on Alcuin of York, the Anglo-Saxon scholar who became the emperor's chief advisor on education and religious reform. Learn how Alcuin established the Palace School, revived the study of Latin classics, standardized the liturgy, and introduced the Carolingian minuscule script that made books more readable. The conversation also touches on Charlemagne's own efforts to learn Latin and Greek, the role of women like his daughters in the court's intellectual life, and the political uses of learning in unifying his vast empire. Specific dates and places are discussed, including the Council of Frankfurt in 794 and Alcuin's abbacy at Tours. A vivid picture emerges of a court dedicated to knowledge as a tool of governance.
