| Abstract | The papers present new research with regard to the Parisian intellectual (clerical) environment in the 12th century. W. Ysebaert will demonstrate if and how law gradually penetrated the Parisian schools and influenced the actions of clerics with regard to the resolution of their mutual conflicts. S. Van Liefferinge will focus on the use of mathematics by the builders of Churches, on their level of education and skills, and on the way the gap between 'theory' and 'practice' was bridged. General conclusions with regard to the general subject will be made. |
