Servatus Lupus, a Humanist of the Ninth Century
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 January 2009
Extract
TO be the President of this Society puts one in a rare succession and is an honor to be coveted. I thank you for the election. On casting about for a subject worthy of your attention and appropriate for this inaugural address I concluded to call you away from modern books and modern men to a distant past, no less strenuous than this present but after a different pattern. I take you from the twentieth to the ninth century, and from the magnificent buildings of this theological seminary to a lowly monastery on the banks of a little river in France.

page 23 note 1 On the seventh of November, 1910, Dr. Jackson delivered an address before Phi Beta Kappa at Rutgers College, on Servatus Lupus. On the eleventh of June, 1912, he began to rewrite this, to serve as his presidential address; but on the second of August his labors were ended by death. The latter part of the present paper did not receive his final revision.

(Bibliothèque de l'école des hautes études, fascicule, 77.) This numbering deviated for alleged chronological reasons from the sequence of the unique ancient codex of the Letters; but the latest editor, Ernst Dūmmler, has printed them in the original order of the manuscript (Monumenta Germaniœ Historica, Epistolarumtomi vi. pars prior, Karolini œvi iv, Berolini, 1902, 1–126). On p. 6 Dūmmler presents both numberings in parallel columns.

page 37 note 1 At its annual meeting in 1913, the Society voted with regret to postpone the printing of the Letters of Servatus Lupus, for financial reasons. They would occupy about 144 pages of this volume. Mr. Preble's translation of the Life of St. Wigbert, Abbot of Fritzlar, by Servatus Lupus (about 8000 words) also awaits publication. Wigbert was an Anglo-Saxon associate of Bonifatius.
