'

Charlemagne, the 'father of Europe,' a Philosopher King and
a Christian

- who reportedly had the same physical strength as
Leonardo da Vinci showed, later -

philosophized frequently with a man he employed, a religious and
quite conceited, "infallible" 'man of learning,'

whom he, Charlemagne had attracted to his court, and who
came from the (then) most famous University of York, in
England, and

employed him to set up and to manage Charlemagne's own
University, in Tours, France,

to educate in particular those officials who were managing
the affairs of the various European peoples under the care
of Charlemagne,

officials you know as the Paladins, and other
officials to govern the peoples of Europe,

and at some time Charlemagne asked the head of his University,
Alcuin or Alcuinus by name, these two questions:

'

"We can not be sufficiently astounded about the fact, that,
at the Last Supper with his Twelve Disciples, while Jesus
must have had a most interesting sermon to deliver to them
at their last gathering, (yet) nothing of such a matter
has been mentioned by these Disciples,"

a question, that might indeed have been 'posed' with
intriguing Beauty, in Leonardo da Vinci's

- and the second most famous painting
on Earth -

'The Last Supper.'

'

"It is surprising to me," was the next question by The
Philosopher King, by Charlemagne, "that we Christians
deviate so often from Christian virtues, even though
- if we would observe these - we are promised the bliss
of being in Heaven, as a reward."

"The philosophers not of Christian faith, however, have
always pursued those virtues for the sake of keeping their
own dignity and to obtain the glory and fruits of leading
a decent life." (*)

to listen to Solomon's wisdom,
sent by all the kings of the world,
who had heard of his wisdom.'
