In July 2014, the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden hosted the second Dorestad congress, exactly five years after the first. This congress was attached to the exhibition ?Golden Middle Ages: The Netherlands in the Merovingian World, 400-700 AD? and brought together historians, archaeologists and linguists to discuss these ?Dark Ages?, their burials and settlements, rituals and identities, and the position of the Low Countries in the world-wide networks of early-medieval Europe. Contributions in these congress proceedings are devoted to key themes like early-medieval identity and agency, so-called royal burials in Europe, significant find categories like garnets, coins and Merovingian glass, important new sites and finds from the Low Countries and recent work in the Carolingian ?vicus famosus? of Dorestad. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

Dorestad is a large, wealthy and internationally orientated
harbour town from the Carolingian era excavated at the site of Wijk
bij Duurstede in the middle of the Netherlands. In the eighth and
ninth century A.D. it functioned as a junction in a network of
Carolingian emporia or vici that covered most of
present-day Europe. The past decade featured new research into the
relations between these towns, their environmental and cultural
context, the exchange of goods, coins and ideas, and the role of
emperors and Vikings in their rise and fall. This publication will
present the results of a scholarly congress in Leiden in June 2009,
where renowned historians and archaeologists from eight countries
presented studies into the Carolingian emporia, their
material culture and their position in early-medieval Europe,
composed around Dorestad, the only emporium called
vicus famosus in contemporary sources.
Dr. Annemarieke Willemsen (1969) is medieval curator of the
National Museum of Antiquities (Leiden), where she organized the
2009 exhibition & congress Dorestad, Medieval
Metropolis. Earlier she published books on medieval toys,
schools and the Vikings.

After about 1300, most schools in the Netherlands came under
secular rule. It managed to create good and accessible schools,
causing a hey-day for education in the 14th, 15th and 16th century.
As a result, more than half of the children participated in basic
instruction and literacy rate went relatively high. A contemporary
Italian visitor noted with awe that in the Low Countries
everybody could read and write, even the peasants. In the
16th century, the curriculum changed because of the Reformation and
the availability of printed texts. In this book, the favourable
situation in the Netherlands is compared with the rest of Western
Europe.
Medieval and Renaissance schools have been studied before, but
never from the perspective of those who experienced it on a daily
basis. Recent excavations on the sites of late-medieval schools and
boarding houses revealed the objects used by pupils and teachers
for reading, writing, mathematics, and school life in general.
Combining those finds with texts and hundreds of depictions of
school scenes in manuscripts, frescoes, sculpture, stained glass
and early prints, the practice of education could be reconstructed.
The book gives a detailed overview of the material school culture,
allowing a rare glimpse into a late-medieval classroom.
Dr. Annemarieke Willemsen (1969) is art historian and
archaeologist and works as curator of the medieval department of
the National Museum of Antiquities at Leiden. Earlier she published
books on Roman and medieval childrens toys.
