Note 64 — Chapter IV · THE EARLY CHRISTIANS AND THE MIDDLE AGE.
William Harold Payne translation
Écolâtre. The history of this word, as given by Littré, is instructive. “There was no cathedral church (sixteenth century) in which a sum was not appropriated for the salary of one who taught the ordinary subjects, and another for one who had leisure for teaching Theology. The first was called escolastre (écolâtre), the second theologal.” Pasquier. (P.)
