A historical background on the history of universities is not a bad thing because me and the topic itself also interested (as with everything else that is reading this blog), I write about old universities today. Much more than what Dr. Faust wrote in the beginning in Faust I and what is reported in the book 'The Physician' about the medical institution in the Islamic field, I knew that is not even past. Most of this article can be in German and English Wikipedia articles on the topic. Some details I have from other sites. Maybe I'll soon be something more to the history of the Doctor's degree writing (which, incidentally, was formerly a master's degree the same set, but all I would like to anticipate).
Since I do not much about the early Islamic religious schools and do not know about the philosophical academies of Greece, I focus in this posting on the European universities in the Middle Ages. These have been under the direction of the church (especially monastic schools).
scholars were the seven liberal arts , law, medicine and theology ( Wikipedia page to ).
According List of oldest universities there was the oldest institutions in Italy and France. Oxford and Cambridge are also very old. The oldest universities in Europe are therefore Prague and Vienna and the oldest universities in Germany, Erfurt, Heidelberg and Cologne (all founded in the 14th century).
The first university with its own campus was Cambridge (previously searched areas were needed somewhere). Also interesting in the Wikipedia article: The lectures began 5:00 to 6:00 - Who would replace it? treated
Since students in Europe were used as monks, they also had the same immunity to the law and could commit crimes without having really taken the responsibility to be. Here is a quote about this: theft, rape and murder were among students who had to take any serious consequences, not unusual.
Also interesting is the comparison with the periods of study that we know today and which I have written here. " To a Bachelor had to be studied for six years. Up to 12 more were for the attainment of a master or doctorate's degree required."
Now for the next source, namely http://www.ib.hu-berlin.de/ ~ pz / dental / page librdisc.htm :
The language in the study was Latin and professors were forbidden to write faster than the students could take notes. But: The daily routine of the students were crammed and hard. This explains the importance of word studiare " operate, seek something . It was also required, which was to learn and a student had to learn it dogmatic. It is also interesting that the studies at the age of 13/14 years was recorded and the social background of students was not significant.
tooth continues: The students were - as now - always without money, tired and full of learning ... Pleasure seeking (Cardini p. 25). They were not under municipal law had far-reaching tax benefits, subject of one university to another, wrote poems, consumed a lot and produced little, had no prejudices, demonstrated ... their contempt for the institution of marriage and praised the free love. (the 68-issue was probably not that new ...?)
Who has the book 'The philosopher ' read the, the picture that Prof. dental records of the philosophers, familiar: The artists because of their poverty were also generally less appreciated: because they earned less than doctors and lawyers, was the mob of Paris, the philosopher of shabby Professors who were prone to ideological disputes and their students were without doubt the most undisciplined of all, a nation of shouters with little money, which populated the pubs and on street intersections with dice (...)
play so much to the medieval university. Other posts I plan to adjacent areas already.
