Dr Hackett discovered in the Angelica Library in Rome a manuscript
containing a unique text of the first constitution of Cambridge
University. The centrepiece of this book is a critical edition of
the text with an English translation on facing pages. The
importance of his discovery for historians of Cambridge and of
medieval university education cannot be overestimated. The
Cambridge constitutions form a complete code, promulgated at a
remarkably early date (c. 1250). Dr Hackett shows that Oxford
lagged more than 50 years behind Cambridge in codifying its
statutes and neither Paris nor Bologna, the oldest of all
universities, had a written constitution or code of laws at this
time.
