This book explores the ways in which theologians at the early
University of Paris promoted the development of this new centre of
education into a prominent institution within late medieval
society. Drawing upon a range of evidence, including many
theological texts available only in manuscripts, Spencer E. Young
uncovers a vibrant intellectual community engaged in debates on
such issues as the viability of Aristotle's natural philosophy for
Christian theology, the implications of the popular framework of
the seven deadly sins for spiritual and academic life, the social
and religious obligations of educated masters, and poor relief.
Integrating the intellectual and institutional histories of the
Faculty of Theology, Young demonstrates the historical significance
of these discussions for both the university and the
thirteenth-century church. He also reveals the critical role played
by many of the early university's lesser-known members in one of
the most transformative periods in the history of higher education.
