Publisher's Synopsis
The pre-eminence of the universities of Paris and Oxford as centres of learning and of literary production has imposed on the study of the history of universities' generalized cultural and institutional models derived from these two centres. This collection of studies shows, however, how in academic practice and literature there were many university centres. Working from a re-examination of statutary sources and from analyses of numerous unedited texts, these five papers tackle the problems of the teaching of theology in the schools of the mendicant orders and in the universities, the teaching of the liberal arts and of the meaning of facultas in the Italian context, the programme of logic at Bologna, and finally they offer an integral framework for the curriculum and for methods of teaching logic.
