Abstract: After a violent “town and gown” conflict, the masters and students of Paris left the capetian capital during two years, between 1229 and 1231. Prosopographical data enable us to know that they had been dispersed to the Loire Valley, Picardy, Champagne, England, Italy and Spain. In these places, most of them continued to teach or to study, and their arrival fostered the development of scholarly centers such as Orléans or Palencia. The recent universities such as Oxford or Toulouse saw their populations increase suddenly with the arrival of Parisian clerks. Manuscripts and institutional models travelled with masters and students through Europe so that we can say that the Great dispersión of the University of Paris had important consequences on the rise of European universities.Keywords: University, Paris, Oxford, Orléans, Bologne, dispersion.Resumen: Después de un violento conflicto de “pueblo y toga”, los maestros y estudiantes de París abandonaron la capital de los Capetos durante dos años, entre 1229 y 1231. Los datos prosopográficos nos permiten saber que se dispersaron por el Valle del Loira, Picardía, Champaña, Inglaterra , Italia y España. En estos lugares, la mayoría de ellos continuó enseñando o estudiando, y su llegada fomentó el desarrollo de centros académicos como Orleans o Palencia. Universidades recientes como Oxford o Toulouse vieron su población aumentar repentinamente con la llegada de empleados parisinos. Manuscritos y modelos institucionales viajaron con maestros y estudiantes a través de Europa por lo que podemos decir que la gran dispersión de la Universidad de París tuvo importantes consecuencias en el surgimiento de las universidades europeas.Palabras clave: Universidad, París, Oxford, Orleans, Bolonia, dispersion.

"A Short Modern History of Studying Sacrobosco’s De sphaera. The treatise generally known as De sphaera offered at the beginning of the 13th century a general image of the structure of the cosmos. In this paper I’m first trying to present a triple stake with which this treaty of Johannes de Sacrobosco (c. 1195 - c. 1256). This effort is intended to draw a context upon the treaty on which I will present in the second part of this paper namely, a short modern history of studying this treaty starting from the beginning of the 20th century up to this day. The first stake consists in the well-known episode of translation of the XI-XII centuries in the Latin milieu of the Greek and Arabic treaties. The treatise De sphaera taking over, assimilating and comparing some of the new translations of the texts dedicated to astronomy. The second Consists in the fact that Sacrobosco`s work can be considered a response to a need of renewal of the curriculum dedicated to astronomy at the University of Paris. And the third consists in the novelty and the need to use the De sphaera treatise in the Parisian University’s curriculum of the 13th century. Keywords: astronomy, translation, university, 13th Century, Sacrobosco, Paris, curriculum"

The chapter opens with a brief description of Paris at around the time of Bodin’s arrival. It notes the location of the Carmelite house, near the colleges of the University of Paris, and specifies intellectual influences at work there, both humanist and scholastic. They included ongoing debate over key philosophical, theological, and jurisprudential issues to consideration of which Bodin would have been exposed. They also included debates over the proper use of language, over modes of literary presentation, and over analytical methodology. The contribution of Pierre de La Ramée (Ramus) to these debates is examined, and the principal components of his celebrated ‘method’ are identified. Attention is drawn to the continued importance of Aristotle in these areas of thought and instruction. Finally, the question is examined whether the ‘Jehan Baudin’ arrested and imprisoned in 1548 as a suspect heretic was in fact the Carmelite novice, Jean Bodin of Angers.
