Mediæval Universities Universities as we know them today started as scholastic guilds, and developed on an analogy with the tradesmen's guilds and the later guilds of aliens in foreign cities which sprang up in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in most of the great European cities. The University of Cambridge was created c.1209, although at first its growth was relatively slow and it was only recognised as a studium generale by Bull of Pope John XXII in 1318. The structures of both universities were heavily influenced by the example of Merton College, Oxford, which was established in 1264 as a residence for secular clergy- those who lived a communal life but, unlike the regular clergy, were not monastic (8). www.geocities.com /noelcox/Medieval_Universities.htm   (1519 words)

Universities in Hungary from the Middle Ages to the Enlightened Absolutism The universities were founded primarily at the initiatives of the local monarches and could win papal or imperial approval for their operation. The Pécs University was of royal establishment, and though without theological faculty it was incomplete, but at the time of its establishment it corresponded with the standards and development level of the age and the region. From the 1380s more and more former students of the Pécs university continued their studies in Prague or Vienna, though it is presumable that the Pécs university still existed in the beginning of the 15th century, and in the lack of royal support, it was transformed to episcopal school, i.e. www.bibl.u-szeged.hu /~ficzko/barc1/huuniv.htm   (7830 words)

Mediæval Education Generally speaking the university scholar was a cleric, that is a man in holy orders, or at least one who had received the tonsure.(1) Many however did not advance beyond deacon and forsook the religious vocation for a secular career. Once the structure of the university was firmly established, the completion of these studies after some four to seven years(5) was formally marked by the awarding of the degree of Bachelor of Arts (baccalaureate or bicentiate).(6) The study of the quadrivium and trivium (which was the more important of the two) comprised the basis of the curriculum of the mediæval monastic schools by the beginning of the eleventh century,(11) and was from the beginning the essence of the university education. www.geocities.com /noelcox/Medieval_Education.htm   (1222 words)

University of Cambridge: a Brief history - the Medieval University There were no professors; the teaching was conducted by masters who had themselves passed through the course and who had been approved or licensed by the whole body of their colleagues (the universitas or university). The teaching took the form of reading and explaining texts; the examinations were oral disputations in which the candidates advanced a series of questions or theses which they disputed or argued with opponents a little senior to themselves, and finally with the masters who had taught them. It was also desirable to mark the stage in a scholar's progress by a ceremony of admission (graduation) to the different grades, or degrees, of membership. www.cam.ac.uk /cambuniv/pubs/history/medieval.html   (564 words)

[No title] The core of the medieval university was the master teacher and his students.

Medieval university Summary University students and teachers were very mobile, often traveling to several institutions in their careers, and helped create a European wide sense of learning. University academics were accused of following their ancient sources too closely, while ignoring the dramatic changes in European religion, politics, economics, and wider discoveries of the world. The development of the mediaeval university coincided with the widespread reintroduction of Aristotle from Byzantine and Jewish scholars and the decline in popularity of Platonism and Neoplatonism in favour of Aristotelian thought. www.bookrags.com /Medieval_university   (3598 words)

ME4811 - The Mediaeval University The university and its traditions are among the most visible legacies bequeathed to western society by the Middle Ages. This course examines the history of the mediaeval university, its origins, early institutional development, and organisation, and traces as well the main intellectual currents that shaped Europe’s universities in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The ancient universities of Bologna, Paris, and Oxford form the course’s main focus, but the history of the University of St Andrews itself is also explored, through the muniments and manuscripts housed in the University’s Special Collections. www.st-andrews.ac.uk /academic/history/medhist/hons/4811.shtml   (241 words)

The Evolution of Modern Medicine - Chapter XVII T will be of interest to know what studies were followed at a mediaeval university. The University of Pavia was founded in 1361, and like most of those in Italy was largely frequented by foreigners, who were arranged, as usual, according to their nationalities; but the students do not appear to have controlled the university quite so much as at Bologna. The university controlled the production of them, and stationers were liable to fines for inaccurate copies. www.worldwideschool.org /library/books/tech/medicine/TheEvolutionofModernMedicine/chap18.html   (743 words)

Evolution of Modern Medicine: Chapter 3. Mediaeval Medicine The date of the origin of the university is uncertain, but there were teachers of medicine there in the twelfth century, though it was not until 1289 that it was formally founded by a papal bull. One characteristic of mediaeval medicine is its union with theology, which is not remarkable, as the learning of the time was chiefly in the hands of the clergy. In spite of the opposition of the Church astrology held its own; many of the universities at the end of the fifteenth century published almanacs, usually known as "Prognosticons," and the practice was continued far into the sixteenth century. www.oslermarine.com /evmodmed3.html   (8904 words)

University of London (1892) Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley II [329] The cardinal fact in the University question appears to me to be this: that the student to whose wants the mediæval University was adjusted, looked to the past and sought book-learning, while the modern looks to the future and seeks the knowledge of things. From this point of view, the University occupies a position altogether independent of that of the coping-stone of schools for general education, combined with technical schools of Theology, Law, and Medicine. Probably the teaching of the subjects which stand in the relation of preliminaries to technical teaching and final studies in higher general education in the University would be utilised by the colleges and technical schools. aleph0.clarku.edu /huxley/Book/ULond.html   (293 words)
