John the Old Saxon

John the Old Saxon (active c. 885–904), also known as John of Saxony or Scotus, was a scholar and abbot of Athelney, probably born in Old Saxony. He was invited to England by King Alfred and contributed to Alfred's revival of English learning. In his life of Alfred, the Welshman Asser reports that John "was a man of most acute intelligence, immensely learned in all fields of literary endeavour, and extremely ingenious in many other forms of expression".〔Michael Lapidge, ("John the Old Saxon (''fl''. c.885–904)" ), ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''.〕
==Name and early life==
John is often referred as ''Iohannes''. Asser states that he was of "Old" Saxon (as opposed to Anglo-Saxon or English) origins, in other words from east of the Rhine. Nothing more precise is known; as a monk, he might have been raised in one of the Saxon monasteries such as Korvey or Gandersheim, but he could also have come to England from western Francia, like Grimbald, who came to England from Rheims at approximately the same time as John, in the mid-880s.〔〔Michael Lapidge, "Some Latin Poems as Evidence for Reign of Athelstan", in ''Anglo-Latin literature, 900–1066'', London / Rio Grande, Ohio: Hambledon, 1993, ISBN 9781852850128, pp. 49–86, (p. 66 ).〕 Asser comments at one point that John had some experience with fighting, which implies that he had a secular upbringing.〔
