Biography:
John J. Contreni received the Ph.D. degree in August 1971, from
Michigan State University and joined Purdue's Department of History the
following month. He teaches the introductory medieval history survey
course and offers undergraduate courses on the World of Charlemagne, Medieval
Culture, and Studies in Medieval History. Graduate seminars focus on late
antiquity and the Carolingian age. His research explores the intellectual,
religious, and political culture of the early medieval period (fifth to eleventh
centuries) with special emphasis on the manuscripts, schools, and texts of
Carolingian Europe.
