Remigius

Remigius of Auxerre, a Benedictine monk, was among the last great masters of the Carolingian schools: he taught at Auxerre, was called to restore the cathedral school at Reims after Viking devastation, and around 900 opened a school in Paris — an early seed of that city's later academic glory. A tireless commentator, he glossed authors sacred and secular alike, from the Psalms and Genesis to Boethius and Martianus Capella. The homilies on Matthew that circulate under his name gave the Catena Aurea its 'Remigius'; through such school texts his patient, compiling scholarship carried the ninth century's learning into the medieval classroom.

Around 900 he opened a school in Paris — two centuries before the university, an early seed of the city's academic destiny.
