Abstract: "The university is indigenous to Western Europe and is probably the greatest and most enduring achievement of the Middle Ages. Medieval universities contributed greatly to the economic vitality of their host cities and served as birthplaces for effective laws and discoveries. This survey traces the growth of the largest medieval universities and discusses common traits of medieval universities, major figures associated with each, and the role of the university in medieval life"--Provided by publisher.
