If, on the surface, medieval culture was largely oral, texts nonetheless emerged as a reference system both for everyday activities and for giving shape to larger vehicles of interpretation. Even when texts were not actually present, people often acted and behaved as if they were.The book uses methods derived from anthropology, from literary theory, and from historical research, and is divided into five chapters. The first treats the growth and shape of medieval literacy itself. Theo other four look afresh at some of the period's major issues--heresy, reform, the Eucharistic controversy, the thought of Anselm, Abelard, and St. Bernard, together with the interpretation of contemporary experience--in the light of literacy's development. The study concludes that written language was the chief integrating instrument for diverse cultural achievements. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aWritten communication$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aLearning and scholarship$xHistory$yMedieval, 500-1500 610 $aBerengar of Tours. 610 $aBoethius. 610 $aByzantium. 610 $aCanonica, Patarene church. 610 $aCatharism. 610 $aChrist, Jesus. 610 $aClement of Rome. 610 $aConstance. 610 $aCorpus Agrimensorum. 610 $aDamian, Peter. 610 $aDonation of Constantine. 610 $aEcclesiastes. 610 $aEdict of Milan. 610 $aEudes of Chartres. 610 $aEusebius. 610 $aGalbert of Bruges. 610 $aGerard of Csanád. 610 $aHenry I of England. 610 $aHeribald of Auxerre. 610 $aHugh of Langres. 610 $aJerusalem. 610 $aJohn of Salisbury. 610 $aLactantius. 610 $aLandulf Senior. 610 $aabstract versus concrete. 610 $aabstraction. 610 $aacculturation. 610 $aallegory. 610 $aantisemitism. 610 $aasceticism. 610 $aauthentication. 610 $abaptism. 610 $abehaviour, symbolic. 610 $aceremony. 610 $acommune. 610 $aconfession. 610 $acovering, allegorical. 610 $acustom. 610 $adecision-making. 610 $aecclesia primitiva. 610 $aempiricism. 610 $aexplanatio. 610 $afascinati. 610 $aformalism. 610 $agrammaticus. 610 $ailliteracy. 610 $aimmram. 610 $aincantation. 610 $airrationality. 610 $ajongleurs. 610 $ajustification. 615 0$aWritten communication$xHistory. 615 0$aLearning and scholarship$xHistory 676 $a001.543094 700 $aStock$b Brian$0197918 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247891003316 996 $aThe implications of literacy$91887314 997 $aUNISA
