Abstract

FROM the composition of Quintilian’s Institutes in A.D. 92-5 to the rediscovery of the complete text in 1416 during the later phase of the Renaissance it was the Church that kept learning alive. There was a minor renaissance in the twelfth century, and thereafter the universities — the offspring of the Church — assumed the main burden of preserving and advancing culture. It is appropriate, therefore, that one of the most influential of the new educators during the Renaissance1 was inspired by religious fervour and zeal for the defence of the faith.
