BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
=1. Additional Readings from the Sources.=
MUNRO, D.C. The Mediaeval Student. (Translations
and Reprints
from the Original Sources of European
History,
Vol. II, No. 3.) The student
should not fail to procure
this little pamphlet, which is a
necessary supplement to
several of the readings in the present
collection. It contains
useful explanatory notes as well
as important documents.
Price, ten cents. Longmans,
Green & Co., New
York City.
ROBINSON, J.H. Readings in European History.
Vol. I, chap.
xix, and especially pp. 446-461.
Readings on Abelard,
Aristotle in the Universities, Roger
Bacon.
HENDERSON, E.F. Select Historical Documents of
the Middle
Ages, pp. 262-266. Charter
of the University of Heidelberg,

=2. General References on the History of Mediaeval Universities.=
RASHDALL, HASTINGS. The Universities of Europe
in the Middle
Ages. Oxford: The
Clarendon Press, 1895. 1273 pages,
2 vols. in three parts. Much
the best work on the subject;
based on the sources. Indispensable
for reference.
MULLINGER, J.B. Encyclopedia Britannica, Art.
Universities.
“The first tolerably correct
(though very brief) account
which has appeared in English.”
Includes university
history to 1882.
Encyclopedia Britannica and other encyclopedias.
The student
who may not have access to works
mentioned in this
list is reminded that brief accounts
of the men and the
subjects here considered are often
to be found in good
encyclopedias.
=3. Bibliographies.=
The best single collection of references to the extensive literature of the subject is in Rashdall’s work, though this does not include books and articles published since 1895. Compayre (see below) includes a brief list. References to sources and secondary works on the Seven Liberal Arts are published by Abelson; references relating to university text-books of Greek origin by Loomis (see below).
=4. Text-books.=
COMPAYRE, G. Abelard and the Origin and Early History
of
Universities. New York:
Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1892.
Still the best single text-book
for class use. Contains
numerous errors, which should be
corrected by comparison
with Rashdall.
WOODWARD, W.H., editor. Mediaeval Schools
and Universities.
Cambridge Contributions to Modern
History, I. New
York: G.P. Putnam’s
Sons. This work, which is still
in preparation, will probably supersede
Compayre.
