A Timeline of Medieval Universities

Abstract

Figure 1 presents our timeline of medieval universities, i.e. universities created before the fall of Constantinople in 1453. To construct this timeline of universities, we used information provided by Frijhoff in his book "A History of the University in Europe" (1996) and by Rashdall in his book ”The Universities of Europe in the Middle Ages” (1895). We also consulted Hermans and Nelissen (2005) and Verger and Charle (2012). These works attempt to define the dates of the foundation of the different universities.
