Reviews

''This volume represents a still-valuable work of scholarship and an appropriate tribute to a major scholar of the previous century.'' Paul Knoll, in Reinassance Quarterly , LXXII, NO.1 (2018).

''This volume represents a still-valuable work of scholarship and an appropriate tribute to a major scholar of the previous century.'' Paul Knoll, in Reinassance Quarterly , LXXII, NO.1 (2018). This book originated as the dissertation of Professor Gaines Post (d.1987), written under the direction of Charles Homer Haskins at Harvard University and approved in 1931. [...] We have Professor William J. Courtenay to thank for bringing this book to print. Courtenay's editorial interventions in the text appear light; he offers the book both as an original contribution to research into the rise of the universities but also as a window into the research conducted by Charles Homer Haskins and his students at Harvard'. [...] Post's careful and patient narrative of the emerging legal relationships complements these later analyses with the timely reminder that legal, juridical, and material conditions played significant roles in the formation of the university cultures . Robert J. Porwool, in Sixteenth Century Journal vol. 1, n.2, 2019.
