Reviews
'This book represents an original and sophisticated look at the interplay between learned individuals and their academic environment at an important moment in the history of the university. An appendix supplies a biographical register of known and possible Parisian masters of theology between 1215 and 1248.' Alex J. Novikoff, American Historical Review
'Young's work is of great benefit for scholars who research the time period under consideration, as well as for scholars of later Parisian theologians such as Albert, Aquinas, and Bonaventure, since the study explores the proximate communal context in which these thinkers were formed. ... Young's study is a significant resource.' Matthew R. McWhorter, Nova et vetera
'This book manages to expand in several fascinating directions while fusing the intellectual and institutional histories of the early University of Paris in an original and convincing way ...' Antonia Fitzpatrick, Speculum
