HIST 3006 The History of Early Medieval Thought
editThis page is devoted to facilitating the Wikipedia Project as assigned in the course HIST 3006 Early Medieval Thought, in the Department of History, at Carleton University (Ottawa). For this project students will be asked to identify a Wikipedia entry on an early medieval thinker which is in need of creation or expansion. Students will then complete the entry by finding, reading and summarizing academic scholarship on the figure. It is strongly suggested that students research a thinker whose writings (or one example of their writing) will form the basis of the following assignment: an in-depth document analysis paper. Try to find a figure, therefore, whose writings are or have been translated into a language that you can read.
