	Sorbonne on Encyclopedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In the 16th cent., because it became the place for the deliberations of the faculty of theology, this faculty came to be called the Sorbonne, although all its members did not belong to this college.
		After its suppression (1792) in the French Revolution, the Univ. of Paris took over (1808) the Sorbonne grounds, so that for the years between 1808 and 1885 the Sorbonne existed as the seat of the three faculties of theology and of the Académie de Paris.
		Sorbonne is frequently used as a name for the Univ. of Paris.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sorbonne
		As the other teachers of theology in the university became members of the Sorbonne, its staff, at the beginning of the sixteenth century, was practically identical with the university faculty.
		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.
