This book is about education in the Middle Ages. The period covered in this book is from the 12th century till the early 16th century.
The author gives special attention to university studies and university excercises. There are chapters on:
-teachers and students of the 12th century (like Abelard and John of Salisbury),
-on new methods and new studies (like Aristotle, Roman Law and Medicine),
-University Priviliges (Protection by the Sovereign, Right of Trial, and more),
-Universities founded by Civil or Ecclesiastical Powers,
-University Excercises,
-Requirements for the Degrees in Arts (in Paris, Leipzig and Oxford),
-Academic Letters.
The author, Arthur O. Norton, was Assistent Professor of the History and Art of Teaching in Harvard University at the time he wrote this.
I do recommend this book to anyone who's interested in Mediaeval History or in the History of Education or Universities.
