Chapter Chapter 6 in Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education, 2014, pp 109-124 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is subdivided chronologically into periods that correspond to changes in educational system, aims, and ideals: c. 500–750, c. 750–1100, c. 1100–1200, and c. 1200–1500. To the extent it is possible, Latin and lay education (in its geographical and professional diversity) are distinguished, but the scarcity of sources for lay teaching causes the Latin (first quadrivial, later broader universitarian) type to preponderate in the exposition.
