Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the religious life of the University of Paris during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, this book delves into the significance of prayers for the dead in the daily routines of masters and students. Instead of emphasizing the usual teaching programs and curricula, it highlights the unique religious observances that shaped the institution's culture. Based on the author's 2016 Conway Lectures at Notre Dame, it offers a fresh perspective on medieval academic life and its intertwining with spiritual practices.
