- Inhalt
- Gerbert of Aurillac (ca. 945-1008) was one the most renowned scholars at the turn of the millenium. His intellectual scope included not only the basics of the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) but also fields of the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy). His successful contributions to the latter gave him the reputation of a necromancer and sorcerer after his death. Trained first in a monastery school, he later studied in Spain (967-970), where he got in contact with muslim readings of Aristole and other works of classical greek philosophy. His teaching in Reims attracted students from all over Europe. Cooperating and befriending the rulers of his time (Hugh Capet and Otto III) he eventually rose in the ecclesiastical hierarchy. He became abbot of Bobbio, archbishop of Reims, archbishop of Ravenna. In 999 he was elected pope and assumed the the name Silvester II. The course will focus on Gerberts intellectual and political activities.
