Av Daniel Yingst, 2026.Del av serien Knowledge Communities.
An intellectual biography of Honorius Augustodunensis, one of the most influential authors during Early Medieval times, this book offers the portrait of an educator and author, whose works set the stage for the intellectual transformations of the twelfth century and beyond. Honorius Augustodunensis was a popularizer, a pedagogue, and a talented author notable for his success in appealing to a wide medieval audience. He synthesized a variety of sources into simple, easily memorized forms used in daily pastoral care. In his works, he crafted an ideal of Christian society, unified and centered on a vision of the incarnate Word, reflected in creation and text. Pedagogy, in his view, was the key to the salvation of both the individual and the cosmos as a whole. The flowering of intellectual seeds planted centuries before, Honorius's thought represents the fullest expression of the Early Medieval ideal before its dissolution in the intellectual ferment of the twelfth century. The book will be of interest to researchers with a general interest and background in the Middle Ages.
