	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Alcuin
		Alcuin attended the Synod of Frankfort in 794, and took an important part in the framing of the decrees condemning Adoptionism as well as in the efforts made subsequently to effect the submission of the recalcitrant Spanish prelates.
		Alcuin was present at this meeting and no doubt took a prominent part in the discussions and in the drawing up of the "Epistola Synodica", although, with characteristic modesty, he furnishes no evidence of the fact in his letters.
		Alcuin urged against the Adoptionists the universal testimony of the Fathers, the inconsistencies involved in the doctrine itself, its logical relation to Nestorianism, and the rationalistic spirit which was forever prompting to just such attempted human explanations of the unsearchable mysteries of faith.

		Alcuin implied in a letter written after Offa and Ecgfrith were both dead that Offa also killed many other claimants to ensure his son's succession (EHD 202), and it is clear that Alcuin regarded Ecgfrith's short reign as divine vengeance for the deaths compassed by his father.
		A letter of Alcuin written after the sack suggests that the connection might have been drawn, though Alcuin was writing in very general terms (EHD 194: Alcuin suggests the sins of the community at Lindisfarne may have called the disaster upon them; but see further the entry on Æthelred's accession in 790).
		Alcuin seems initially optimistic about Eardwulf's reign, or at least hopeful that Eardwulf will avoid making the mistakes of his predecessors (see Alcuin's letter to Eardwulf, EHD 199), but he soon returns to the gloom he showed in earlier reigns (see entry on 790).

	Alcuin
		Alcuin established scriptoria, dedicated to the copying and preservation of ancient manuscripts, both pagan and Christian.
		That we have as much as we do of the writings of classical Roman authors is largely due to Alcuin and his scribes.
		(He is credited with the invention of cursive script, in which the letters are connected for greater speed of writing.) To Alcuin, backed by Charlemagne, belongs much of the credit for the revision and organization of the Latin liturgy, the preservation of many of the ancient prayers, and the development of plainchant.

	Alkuin (or Alcuin, circa 735-804)
		At line 1287, however, Alcuin records the death of Bede, and even though he turns to Eddius for some of his material at about the same point, he is constrained, for the final 370 lines of his poem, to be more independent.
		Operating within, while attempting to transcend, the genre of consolation, Alcuin draws upon Roman poets, scriptural history, ancient history, and local history, simultaneously diminishing the disaster by setting it against the scale of human history, and magnifying the same disaster by making of it a new triumph in the already triumphant history of Lindsifarne.
		The problems that Alcuin emphasizes are ones that reflect a phonetic situation in the meeting of a living Latin-based language with a living Germanic language in Charlemagne's realm, a situation that Bede did not have to face in the England of his age.

		Alcuin, also known by his Latin name of Albinus, was born in Northumbria in the year of the Venerable Bede's death.[1] He spent time studying in Italy and taught at the cathedral school of York before assuming his place at the court of Charlemagne in 782.
		Alcuin eventually assumed the position of abbot at the abbey of St-Martin of Tours where he founded an important library and school, and where he remained until his death on May 19, 804.
		During the course of his tenure, Alcuin is credited with having written a set of mathematical exercises entitled "Propositiones ad acuendos juvenes" or "Propositions for Sharpening Youths." These problems and their solutions, 53 in number, serve as valuable evidence of the state of mathematical education under the Carolingian kings.
