The Universities of Europe in the Middle Ages, in Three Volumes: Volume I: Salerno, Bologna, Paris; Volume II: Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Scotland; Volume III: English Universities, Student Life

Three volume set. Edited by F.M. Powicke and A.B. Emden. Between winning the Chancellor's Prize at Oxford with this "essay" on medieval universities and its publication in 1895, Hastings Rashdall spent twelve years on revisions. Such meticulous scholarship was rewarded by instant and undiminished acclaim. Revised again by F.M. Powicke (Continental universities) and A.B. Emden (Oxford and Cambridge) in 1936, the three-volume work, based on printed documentary sources, remains unsurpassed as a comparative study of medieval academic institutions. Volume I covers Salerno, Bologna, and Paris; Volume II Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Scotland; and Volume III English universities and student life.--jacket
