The present collection, divided into three thematic sections, includes twenty-one studies on the history of the University of Prague from its foundation in 1348 to the 16th century. The first section is devoted to the birth of the university, its first institutions, the growth of the earliest colleges and the victory of the Reformist party. The second part concentrates on the curriculum, examinations, graduations and annual disputations of the Faculty of Liberal Arts. Section three deals with university polemics about universalia realia, mainly in relation to the scholarly and literary activity of Jerome of Prague (+ 1416).

"This is undeniably a valuable volume, making more widely available material which has hitherto been scattered and not always easily accessible .....The articles should not be merely of interest to scholars working on the history of universities; there is important work here on the distribution of manuscripts in central Europe and on philosophical debates that should not be ignored."
