To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This appears from the Valentinian edict regarding the school of Constantinople referred to in the first lecture. Universitas. — The term " universitas " had no connection with " universale, " and did not, any more than the word " generate, " carry with it any reference to the universality of the curriculum of study. This is now beyond all question. It was again and again formally applied by popes and kings to institutions which made no pretension to teach the circle of knowledge. Mr. Anstey sca...rcely exaggerates when he says that " vestra universitas " in a papal rescript may often be translated simply "all of you. " In running over the works of John of Salisbury, I find a letter (cclxi. ), written in 1 168 to the Conventus of the Ecclesia Cantuariensis, which begins thus : " Universitati sanctorum qui in prima Britanniarum sede . . . Domino famulantur, " etc. In fact, the term "universitas" was in the earlier part of the Middle Ages applied to towns or communia regarded as organized bodies ; hence its application by John of Salisbury to a conventus.
