Theodulf
(also Theodulphe). Born mid-eighth century in Spain; died 821 in Angers. Carolingian Renaissance figure. A Visigoth by descent, Theodulf was an intimate of Charlemagne. He became bishop of Orleans and abbot of Fleury circa 781. Theodulf helped establish a network of schools and developed a teaching system. He was one of the missi dominici (royal commissioners), who regulated the affairs of the counts. After being accused of planning a conspiracy against Louis the Pious in 817, he was deposed and banished to a monastery. Theodulf wrote many poetic works, including the narrative poem Versus contra judices (Against the Judges), which explicitly depicted the morals of the epoch and exposed the arbitrary rule of the counts and their lieutenants. Theodulf also wrote a number of theological treatises. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Nonetheless, in addition to these, one may quote Theodulf and Jonas of Orleans, Modoinus of Auxerre, Walafrid Strabo, Lupus of Ferritres, Remigius of Auxerre, and many others who are not in the least of insular descent. 27) The lengthy text known as the Libri Carolini or Opus Caroli in which Charlemagne attacks the views of the eastern Church on images is now thought to have been written for him by Theodulf of Orleans, with perhaps some input from Alcuin. The final chapters are devoted to questions of reception: of Priscian in the De orthographia, of Ambrose in the context of his anti-heretical polemic, and of Ovid more generally in the Carolingian context (in the work of Theodulf of Orleans, Paul the Deacon, and in the Ovidian glosses -- but very little in Alcuin). |
