Abstract: "Founded in 744 by the Anglo-Saxon missionary and reform-minded bishop, Boniface, the monastery of Fulda quickly attracted royal patronage and established itself as a center for the conversion of pagans, the reform of monastic life, and the preservation of Latin learning. Although Fulda was not singularly responsible for the implementation or success of the Carolingian education reform program, it played a crucial role in setting an example of educational practice for other monasteries and in providing well-educated leaders to disseminate the reform initiated by Charlemagne. The cultural importance of Fulda has long been recognized by historians, but the contribution that the monastery made to the formalization of education for Latin literacy and vocational training for ecclesiastical leadership has received little scholarly attention. |
