Summary: | C. investigates Augustine's influence on the 'libri Carolini', a late eight-century treatise written by Theodulf and containing the response of Charlemagne and his court on the decrees on Byzantine iconodulism of the Second Council of Nicea (787). According to C. Theodulf borrowed a doctrine of the goodness of material things and a turning away from the material to the spiritual from 'De doctrina christiana'. Augustine's work also influenced the 'Libri Carolini' in exegetical principle and wethods of oratory. |
