History at its Best,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Frankish Church (Oxford History of the Christian Church) (Hardcover)
J.M. Wallace-Hadrill's "The Frankish Church" is history at its best. Although I have hundreds of works to read to prepare for my qualifying examinations in medieval history, I would not resist lingering over this book due its depth and richness. Prof. Wallace-Hadrill, a pre-eminent name in late antique studies, has produced both a professional historian's dream of insight and sources, but also a panoramic view of the intellectual world of what is called the 'Carolingian Renaissance'. Imbedded in this book are insightful studies of the dominant minds of the late 8th and 9th century - Alcuin, Walafrid Strabo, Paul the Deacon, Einhard, Hrabanus Maurus, Lupus of Ferrieres, Gottschalk, the two Hincmars, and John Scotus Eriugena. This both a detailed survey of an important period and also a review of the important ideas and achievements of that period. [....] James C. Crinean
