Dear list-members,
I am looking for information on the School of Chartres in the thirteenth century. The
literature I know of (Dronke, Southern, Schipperges) focusses on the heyday of the
school, the twelfth century. Lexikon des Mittelalters provides no information or
literature on the 'Niedergang' of the school. This 'Niedergang' starts at the end of
the twelfth century when its position as a centre of learning was taken over by the
university of Paris. Did the school still function after 1200? Was the program
different from that in the twelfth century? What kind of students were attracted to
Chartres and why would they chose Chartres over Paris?
Any information concerning this questions would be of help.
Thanks,
Veerle Joanna Fraeters
