Summary:

This volume considers the rich diversity of higher learning in the Middle Ages in a global context, but also reveals myriad commonalities of learning method and social formation. Students learnt in scholarly communities housed in monasteries, academies, yeshivas, madrasas and universities. There, they were trained to apprehend and analyse the texts of their particular tradition, as well as to inhabit the privilege and status afforded by their elite status as scholars. A Cultural History of Higher Learning in the Medieval Age presents essays on higher learning and cultures; geographies; authorities; teaching; disciplines; communities; materialities; contestations and epitome.
