Literacy in Lombard Italy, c.568774. Italy had long experienced literacy under Roman rule, but what happened to literacy in Italy under the rule of a barbarian people?. This book examines the evidence for the use of literacy in Lombard Italy c. 568–774, a period usually considered as the darkest of the Dark Ages in Italy due to the poor survival of written evidence and the reputation of the Lombards as the fiercest of barbarian hordes ever to invade Italy.
