Schools of Gaul in the last century of the Western Empire : $b A study of pagan and Christian education in the last century of the Western empire

"Schools of Gaul in the Last Century of the Western Empire" by Theodore Haarhoff is a historical exploration of education during a turning point in Gaul, around the fourth and fifth centuries. The book looks at how pagan and Christian teaching methods mixed together during this time. Haarhoff shows how Gaul was a meeting point for Roman, Celtic, and German cultures, and how this made education unique. The story begins by describing how education in Gaul was changing as the Western Roman Empire was ending. Haarhoff explains that this was a time when old pagan ways of learning met new Christian ideas. He also points out that knowledge and learning continued from the Roman period into the Middle Ages, and that schools in Gaul were important places for this exchange. By talking about Greek, Celtic, and Germanic cultures, Haarhoff creates a picture of how education changed in complex ways during this important time.
