The Correspondence of Alcuin manuscript comprises letters and writings of Alcuin of York, the leading theologian, scholar, and reformist at the court of Emperor Charlemagn. It was most likely compiled by Arn, Archbishop of Salzburg, who was Alcuin's student. The text, copied at the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Amand-les-Eaux at the end of the eighth century, is minimally decorated with large capital letters. The manuscript includes copies of letters addressed to Alcuin from Charlemagne. The guides to Greek and runic letters have attracted much scholarly attention (fols. 19-20).

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
