Scholasticism and the University Movement

Timeline

1. 1195–1200Paris · Île-de-FranceFrom the late 1190s to 1200, masters in the theology and arts faculties of the University of Paris still used lectio and disputatio as core methods, debating universals and the relation of faith and reason on the basis of texts such as Peter Lombard's Sentences; scholasticism entered an important transitional stage before the 13th century.
2. 1200–1205Bologna and Oxford · EuropeAround 1200, the legal tradition of Bologna and the arts-theology tradition of Oxford echoed the Parisian model; student guilds, charters, and examination systems made universities a transregional mobility network for Europe's intellectual elite, preparing institutional conditions for the 13th-century peak of scholasticism.
