medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Having examined all the documents concerning Saint-Marie-d'Argenteuil from the Merovingian period up to the middle of the 12th century and having seen some additional sources in Argenteuil itself (Musée du Vieil Argenteuil) I'm not sure that there were defined or specific educational curricula, which exceeded the general Benedictine tradition, re-established there in about 1000 (second foundation of the convent by Adelaidis, the mother of king Robert the Pious). Apart from Heloise, who may have produced a poem there (titel of the funeral roll of Vitalis of Savigny, rhymed in excellent Catonic distichs), I only know a single source that there was an educational tradition at all: This is an epitaph of the chapel Saint-John (11c.) talking about a deacon Addalaldus who taught music at Argenteuil in the early 11th century. Perhaps you may find some other hints from contemporary texts within my Abelardian website (all pages in German, original texts in Latin): Click on: http://www.abaelard.de or: http://www.030031vertreibung.htm http://www.060019metellus.htm http://www.060020rotel.htm http://www.030032heloisa.htm I hope this helps. Kind regards Werner Robl PS: Are you interested in the complete Latin text about Addalaldus?
