Carolingian Renaissance
The Carolingian Renaissance was a revival of learning, literature and the arts in the Carolingian Empire in the late eighth and ninth centuries. Led by scholars such as Alcuin at the court of Charlemagne, it promoted education, church reform and the copying of classical and Christian texts. Many ancient Latin works survive because they were preserved in this period.
