Document Summary
The medieval cathedral schools and the universities they would evolve into in the thirteenth century differed from all their forerunners in several ways. The school at angers, in the loire valley, produced scholars like the trouble-making berengar of. Tours and the reformers robert of arbrissel and marbode of rennes. Constantine the african and trotula made salerno the best place to study medicine. Irnerius single-handedly established bologna"s reputation as the premiere site for legal study. But these are just the marquee names; thousands of scholars in hundreds of towns filled lecture halls across europe, teaching tens of thousands of students. Even in a small town like bergamo, in northern italy, the cathedral school had nearly two dozen fulltime faculty by the middle of the century. a company capable of handling approximately six hundred full-time students. Schools in larger cities were even larger. both in absolute numbers and in the ratio of students to teachers.
