The subject of this paper is the “dignities” or soul's faculties in the Alcuin's work. First, the author settles the notion of dignitates as Alcuin understands it in all his anthropologic treatises. Then, analyzes this concept in the most importants works where the Charlemagne's friend writes about the dignitates of intellect, memory and will, studying particularly the hierarchy, function and disposition of each according to the work where they appear.
