About this book
Schools of Gaul in the Last Century of the Western Empire by T. J. Haarhoff studies pagan and Christian education during the period named in the title. The discussion of educational ideas considers questions beyond the schools themselves, including the principles involved in history and the teaching of a strange language. The treatment of history suggests that, at Bordeaux at least, history determined the reading course, with definite books included for its sake.
The discussion cautions that the term for history was elastic and that interest in historical facts and their meaning was small. The account of episcopal elections records the faction-weary people of Bourges asking Sidonius to nominate a bishop for them.
