A Short History of Education

1919

But the continuity of the pre-Christian rhetorical instruction during the ages which intervened between the fall of Rome and the establishment of the Mediaeval Empire and Papacy and the success of that persistent tradition are amply demonstrated in the history of literature. [...] But mediaeval Latin was also the language of the hymns of the Church and of Scholasticism the vehicle in the latter case of some of the acutest of thinking known to men. [...] The choristers were der the supervision of the Precentor but the reading of lessons belonged to the province of the Chancellor that member of the cathedral body who had charge of the serviceepooks (for whose correct text he was responsible) who arranges for the public gading of the scriptures by the cathedral clergy in turn and who took charge of the secular business of the foundation. [...] The full course of studies preparatory to the knowledge of the Bible and the works of the Fathers (or at a later date of philosophy and theology) was constituted by the Seven Liberal Arts the first three grammar dialectic and rhetoric forming the Trivium the remainder music arithmetic geometry and astronomy making the Quadrivium. [...] The continued employment down the centuries of the self-same text-books which characterized the early Middle Ages is signifcant of their dependence upon the culture of the Roman Empire and of the slow advance upon the vestiges of that culture which was effected during the earlier part of that period.
