The studies, by leading scholars in the field, set out to provide the factual basis from which assessments of the significance of literacy in the early mediaeval world can be made, as well as analysing the significance of literacy, its implications, and its consequences for the societies in which we observe it. In all cases, the studies represent recent research and bring evidence such as the recent archaeological discoveries at San Vincenzo al Volturno to the subject. They provide fascinating insight into the attitudes of early mediaeval societies towards the written word and the degree to which these attitudes were formed. This period is shown as fundamental for the subsequent uses of literacy in mediaeval and modern Europe. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 517 3 $aThe Uses of literacy in early medieval Europe 606 $aLiteracy$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aSocial history$yMedieval, 500-1500 615 0$aLiteracy$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history 676 $a302.2/244 702 $aMcKitterick$b Rosamond 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247902503316 996 $aUses of literacy in early mediaeval Europe$9972779 997 $aUNISA
