Learning to read in medieval Germany meant learning to read and understand Latin as well as German. The teaching methods used in the Abbey of St. Gall survive in the manuscripts of the scholar and teacher Notker Labeo (ca. 950-1022). Notker's pedagogic method, although deeply rooted in classical and monastic traditions, demonstrates revolutionary innovations in teaching Latin and vernacular literacy. This study has much to contribute to our knowledge of medieval reading, and of the relationship between Latin and the vernacular in a variety of formal and informal contexts.
