The University in Medieval Life, 1179-1499

The university is indigenous to Western Europe and is probably the greatest and most enduring achievement of the Middle Ages. Much more than stodgy institutions of learning, medieval universities were exciting arenas of people and ideas. They contributed greatly to the economic vitality of their host cities and served as birthplaces for some of the eraâ€™s most effective minds, laws and discoveries.
This survey traces the growth of the largest medieval universities of Bologna, Paris, and Oxford, along with the universities of Cambridge, Padua, Naples, Montpellier, Toulouse, OrlÃ©ans, Angers, Prague, Vienna and Glasgow. Covering the years 1179â€“1499, this work discusses common traits of medieval universities, their major figures, and their roles in medieval life.
