• Resumen

  • This article focuses on the establishment of early rhetoric in Germany during the renaissance of Charlemange. Alcuin and his pupil Rhabanus Maurus were prominent in the establishment of rhetoric and artes liberarles. The conception of education under Charlemagne was on the one hand based upon artes liberales. On the other, this renaissance of ancient education eas arranged under a differente poilitical system in comparison with the roman and greek one. So the educational concept itself contains the interest of adornment and honour of the king perfectly used in the rhetorical dialogue between the king and the scholar Alcuin of York and in the works of the first "Praeceptor Germaniae" Rhabanus Maurus.
