Abstract:
Alcuin wrote his De fide sanctae Trinitatis et de Incarnatione Christi in 802, as Charlemagne was concluding his decades-long war in Saxony. Considered by many to be Alcuin’s masterpiece, the De fide was one of the most widely read and circulated works in the entire Alcuinian corpus; today it survives in 100 medieval manuscripts. Alcuin wrote specifically to provide guidelines for the catechetical instruction of pagan Saxons. His short treatise thus provides rare, direct evidence for the content of early medieval missionary preaching. Together with several companion texts, including a credal statement, a litany, and a series of questions and answers addressed to Alcuin's pupil Fredegisus, the De fide sheds light on a wide range of Carolingian-era theological preoccupations, with discussions on topics as diverse as the procession of the Holy Spirit, the Incarnation, the two natures of Christ, and the resurrection of the body.

Advanced Search Tips

When you search on a word, e.g. 'abbaye', we will automatically search across everything we store about a record. But, sometimes you may wish to be more specific. Here we show you how.

Simple search on a specific category

  • Some examples :

    • title:abbaye search abbaye in the title
    • author:hieronymus search hieronymus in the author (Hieronymus as well as Frank, Hieronymus will be find)
    • callNumber:1100.4 search for the call number 1100.4
    • subject:belgique search belgique in the subjects
    • serie:subsidia search subsidia in the series field

Exact match

  • Use the quotes " "

    • title:"catalogue de manuscrits"
    • author:"frank, hieronymus"
    • callNumber:"R Theol Fo-20"
    • subject:"catalogue de manuscrits"

Other tips

  • Use the Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT or AND NOT) Note: by default, the search will use "AND" in your query. The query 'abbaye citeaux' will search for both words in the record.

    Some examples with Boolean operator :

    • serie:"subsidia hagiographica" AND author:dolbeau find the resource where Dolbeau is author in the serie Subsidia hagiographica
    • subject:iconographie AND subject:"Maria Deipara" find resource about the iconographia of Maria Deipara
    • Bible AND publicationYear:1810 search subsidia in the series field
    • subject:martyrologe AND NOT subject:"martyrologe d'usuard" find resource with "martyrologe" as subject, but not "martyrologe d'Usuard"
    • museon AND NOT type:journal find resource with museon, that are not a journal
    • callNumber:"R Hagiog B-337" OR callNumber:"R Hagiog B-336" find resource with either call number
    • sort_callNumber:["R Hagiog A-1" TO "R Hagiog B-215"] find resource from one call Number to the other
  • publicationYear:[1500 TO 1600] all the resource from 1500 to 1600
  • Use the asterisk to truncate you search :

    • title:manuscrit* find : manuscrit, manuscrits, manuscritos, … in the title
