Summation
Breen (2009, p. 405) summs up Martianus's legacy: "Martin's main legacy to late Carolingian culture (unlike that of his fellow countryman John) was not as an original thinker and translator of works in Greek, but as a humanist and educator of great distinction."

Famous quotes containing the word summation:
“He maintained that the case was lost or won by the time the final juror had been sworn in; his summation was set in his mind before the first witness was called. It was all in the orchestration, he claimed: in knowing how and where to pitch each and every particular argument; who to intimidate; who to trust, who to flatter and court; who to challenge; when to underplay and exactly when to let out all the stops.”
—Dorothy Uhnak (b. 1933)
