To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The schools which every Catholic bishop from the beginning necessarily conducted, in order to keep up an enlightened clergy, were never aban- doned. The archdeacon, in this savage time, looked after them. They are numerous in Gaul, in Italy, in Spain. The classics are studied in them, the history of the Christian Church, the laws of the Church and the State. Schoolmas- ters arose, lil^e Boethius, Cassiodorns, and later the saintly Bede, Isidore of Seville, and Al- cuin, not to speak of the mult...itude of Irish mas- ters. The manuals and teaching of these men lasted in many places fully one thousand years. It was not the highest standard of learning, but it was all that could be hoped for, and much more than the great majority wanted in a period of blood and iron, when society was a-forming again, and men could seriously ask themselves whether one hour of bestial enjoyment was not worth a century of study. Side by side with the numerous episcopal schools went the little CATHOLICISM IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
