Carolingian Renaissance (English)

Japanese: カロリング・ルネサンス(英語表記)Renaissance Carolingienne
Carolingian Renaissance (English)
This refers to the cultural boom seen during the reign of Charlemagne of the Carolingian Frankish Kingdom from the end of the 8th century to the beginning of the 9th century. Charlemagne had a strong sense of mission in Christianizing the Western European empire he had revived and reviving its culture. Both his empire and the Carolingian dynasty were short-lived, but the Carolingian Renaissance he ignited eventually bore fruit and brought about the true dawn of Western culture, although it had its limitations as a "court culture." In the desolate intellectual environment at the beginning of Charlemagne's reign, the task of reviving the Latin and Christian classics was left to the learned clergy from monasteries who were barely able to preserve the classics.

8世紀末から9世紀初めにかけての,カロリング朝フランク王国のカール大帝時代にみられた文化興隆の動きをいう。カール大帝は,彼がよみがえらせた西欧の帝国のキリスト教化と文化の復興に,強い使命感をもっていた。彼の帝国もカロリング朝も短命に終わるが,彼によって点火されたカロリング・ルネサンスはやがて実を結び,〈宮廷文化〉としての限界はあるものの,西欧文化の真の夜明けをもたらした。 カールの治世当初の荒廃した知的環境のもとでは,ラテン的・キリスト教的な古典復興の仕事は,かろうじて古典を保存できた修道院出身の学識ある聖職者の手にゆだねられた。
