Description
Abstract (cited)

Israel the grammarian was an important actor of the intellectual life at the beginning of the Ottonian period. Such as, he is a perfect witness to see in which ways teaching evolved in the first half of the tenth century, in despite that his biography remains blurred and only survived few of his works. After a survey on what we can glean from historical sources about his origin and career, this contribution will focus on topics which appear behind the "dossiers" exhumed by previous researchers. From poetry, grammar and lexicographical interests, to study of Greek, liturgy, logic and philosophy, the works of Israel share the same characteristic, namely a deep concern with pedagogy.

(fl. c.900–c.970)
Tenth-century teacher, scholar and poet. He had been a student of John Scottus Eriugena, spent time at the court of King Æthelstan, found a new patron in Rotbert, archbishop of Trier, and became tutor to Bruno, brother of Otto I and later archbishop of Cologne. Breton, Welsh and Irish origins have been variously ascribed to him, with the Breton hypothesis currently finding most favour in scholarship.
