"...this book is a model of historical reclamation and careful research. The reediting of the list of contributors to the Unversity of Paris computus will be useful in itself; the conclusions drawm about the social and topographical composition of the Unversity of Paris will ispire future debate; and the biographical register of over three hundred Parisian scholars will form the groundwork for all forthcoming prosopographical work on the medieval university."

Product Description
This study of the social, geographical, and disciplinary composition of the University of Paris in the early fourteenth century--the most detailed of its kind ever attempted--is based on the reconstruction of a remarkable document: the financial record of tax levied on university members in the academic year 1329-1330. After a thorough examination of this document, the book explores residential patterns, the relationship of students, masters, and tutors, social class and levels of wealth, interaction with the royal court, and the geographical background of university scholars.
