Abstract | The cathedral schools and the universities that developed from them were necessarily urban phenomena. Masters and students lived in, preached in, ate, fought, and partied in the city, and they were in constant contact with other urban residents and visitors. This session aims to explore the material intersection of the urban environment and the schools. The papers address such questions as location of teaching and preaching; production and circulation of manuscripts; dissemination of scholastic ideals of reform; royal and other ownership of real estate; students' and masters' housing; urban properties owned by the schools. |
