In the thirteenth century, the University of Paris emerged as a
complex community with a distinctive role in society. This book
explores the relationship between contexts of learning and the ways
of knowing developed within them, focusing on twelfth-century
schools and monasteries, as well as the university. By
investigating their views on money, marriage and sex, Ian Wei
reveals the complexity of what theologians had to say about the
world around them. He analyses the theologians' sense of
responsibility to the rest of society and the means by which they
tried to communicate and assert their authority. In the late
thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, however, their claims to
authority were challenged by learned and intellectually
sophisticated women and men who were active outside as well as
inside the university and who used the vernacular - an important
phenomenon in the development of the intellectual culture of
medieval Europe.
