Abstract

IT is generally conceded that in the fourth and fifth centuries Gaul was profoundly interested in the sciences. Few would deny that there was a survival of this literary life into the sixth century; but it is the common belief that for various causes there was a progressive decline in letters, so that the seventh century, and the eighth until the time of Charlemagne, were the benighted period of Gallic learning. Now, evidences are not wanting that there was not the same keenness of interest in the liberal arts in Gaul in these centuries as in the earlier ones.
