This book traces the history of one of the central actors in the
transformation of the Western educational system between the 9th
and 13th centuries: the cathedral schoolmaster. Originally
responsible for running the episcopal school, this ecclesiastical
official eventually became a true school administrator with a
territorial monopoly and coercive powers, including in particular
issuing 'licentia docendi' to masters under his jurisdiction. Using
a wide range of sources and taking in thirty-nine dioceses in
northern France, the study analyses the construction of the office
from the Carolingian period, the place of the schoolmaster within
the canonical community and in feudal society, and the
institutionalisation of his function with the Gregorian Reform and
the birth of universities.
