  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Sorbonne   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Sorbonne is frequently used in ordinary parlance as synonymous with the faculty of theology of Paris or the University of Paris I: Panthéon-Sorbonne, University of Paris II: Panthéon-Assas, University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle, University of Paris IV: Paris-Sorbonne.
Among its principal patrons and benefactors was Cardinal Richelieu, who held for a time the office of provisor and who, in 1635, laid the cornerstone of an edifice to be built at his expense for the use of the college.
The Sorbonne itself was suppressed by decree of 5 April 1792, but was restored by Napoleon in 1808 as the theological faculty of the newly organized university.
