| Publisher Description: "The republication of Charles Homer Haskins' "The Rise of Universities" is cause for celebration among historians of higher education and among medievalists of all disciplines...Haskins' argument is a powerful one: that today's university system is a direct (and immediate) descendent of the collections of scholars who gathered around master teachers in the great cities of Europe during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries... His] thesis was profound for its time and remains the guiding interpretation of medieval universities." --"Library Quarterly" |
