University of Toulouse – Wikipedia

before-content-x4

L’ University of Toulouse was one of the most important and oldest French medieval universities. It was founded in 1229 by the Count of Toulouse, Raimond VII, following the treaty of Meaux. Deleted during the Revolution, in 1793, it was refounded in 1896 as part of the reorganization of higher education. She finally disappeared in 1969 by giving birth to the three current Toulouse universities: the Toulouse-I-Capitole University, the Toulouse-Ii-Jean-Jaurès University and the Toulouse-Iii-Paul-Sabatier University, as well as the ‘National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse.

Origins [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Toulouse is, throughout the Latinity, a home of studies of the letters represented by a certain number of rhetoricians, such as Virgile Maro [ first ] , who took as a pseudonym in their controversies the name of former Greek and Latin authors to train at the beginning of VII It is century an academic center called the “Toulouse school”, renowned for its work of deconstruction of grammar to make the language completely unintelligible to laymen, and whose existence in Toulouse is still attested by Abbon de Fleury [ 2 ] . We find a multitude of works of pseudo-cicero, pseudo-horace, pseudo-caton or pdeudo-nénée, the latter relating the siege and looting of Toulouse in 584 by Gondovald, but under the mask of that of Rome by the Bastus Phrygian. This school of esotericism and jargon will have an influence even in the monasteries of Ireland and England where The Aeneid de Virgile Maro, who would have come there, would have served as a model to The navigation of Saint Brendan , and where the Irish monk Clémens, contemporary with Charlemagne, will compose a treaty of the parts of the speech in which he inserts long extracts from a pseudo-virgile of Toulouse.

Subsequently, a Carolingian school of rhetoric exists at the Saint-Sernin cloister until XII It is century, and another is created at the Saint-Etienne cathedral at XI It is century. They ensure the training of the clerics necessary for the county and episcopal administration, without being an important intellectual home. Between 1215 and 1217, theologians external to Toulouse gave there courses that Dominique de Guzmán and his condediples take there.

Middle Ages and Modern Period: Corporate University [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Foundation [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The Foundation of the University of Toulouse ( University of Tolosi Scholars and Scholars , “Community of masters and students of Toulouse” in Latin), is linked to the application of the treaty of Meaux-Paris, imposed in 1229 on the Count of Toulouse, Raimond VII, by the King of France, Louis IX, to put end at the crusade against the Albigensians. The count is forced to maintain for ten years, for the sum of 4,000 silver marcs, fourteen masters: four of theology, two of canon law, six of liberal arts and two of grammar [ 3 ] . At the initiative of the Cardinal Roman of Saint-Ange, the Toulouse University is thought of as a means of fighting Cathar heresy in the south of France.

Teaching is done by masters coming from other cities, mainly recruited in the young University of Paris, such as Jean de Garlande, who wrote in 1229 a prospectus of studies calling for masters and schoolchildren of the North coming to study there [ 4 ] . The preachers – or Dominican brothers – are particularly active, such as Roland de Crémone, Jean de Saint Albans and Laurent L’Anglais [ 5 ] , [ 6 ] . It is also in 1230 that the construction of the church and the cloister of the Jacobins convent is undertaken where the University of Toulouse has its meetings and its assemblies [ 7 ] , [ 8 ] .

But the University of Toulouse quickly encounters difficulties. The count, Raimond VII, is reluctant to pay the salaries of the Parisian masters. Above all, in a context marked by the misfortunes and the destruction of the crusade, the population remains hostile to the arrival of these men from the North, who stand out by the brutality of their speeches and their actions [ 9 ] . In 1231, Roland de Crémona, accompanied by religious, made the body of a man suspected of heresy exhume and burn the body, causing the anger of the population and consuls of the city. In 1234, it was Jean de Saint Albans’ turn to leave the city. In this context, the young Toulouse university receives the support of the bishop, Foulques, and especially the popes, who want to promote its development by giving it its first statutes. Grégoire IX, by the bubble Once the operator from 1233, and innocent IV, by the bubble In the city of Tolosana From 1245, give Toulouse schools the same organization, the same statutes and the same privileges as those received by the University of Paris [ 3 ] , [ 7 ] . The University is placed under the direct protection of the Pope and benefits from a large autonomy, in its administration and teaching (choice of teachers, programs, examination methods, snack of grades) [ 3 ] .

Development [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The University completes its organization by giving itself general statutes in 1311, 1313 and 1314, and specific statutes for the Faculty of Arts in 1309, that of law in 1314, that of theology in 1366, 1374, 1380 and 1389. medicine education was given within the Faculty of Arts, and only became an independent faculty XV It is century [ ten ] . In 1323, Toulouse became a fairly brilliant literary home for the Consistory of Gai Savoir, the oldest literary society in Europe, which Louis XIV will transform a few centuries later in the Royal Academy under the name of the Academy of Floral Games [ 11 ] , [ twelfth ] .

On June 16, 1368, the urban pope V authorized the Dominicans to transfer to Toulouse the body of Thomas Aquinas, philosopher of the scholastic school who had proposed a synthesis between profane letters and sacred letters, between the thought of Aristotle and the Bible, and proposed to articulate reason and faith [ 13 ] .

The University of Toulouse therefore has at the end of the Middle Ages four faculties [ 14 ] , [ 15 ] :

  • Faculty of Theology,
  • Faculty of arts,
  • Medical School,
  • Faculty of rights (canonical then civil).

Modern university and humanism [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The structure of the university, made up of four faculties, remains unchanged during the modern era. In 1751, she merged with the University of Cahors [ 16 ] .

In the field of law science, the XVI It is century is a real golden age for the University of Toulouse. A proverb of the time illustrates its fame [ 17 ] :

“Paris to see, Lyon for having, Bordeaux to exempt, and Toulouse to learn. »»

– Proverb of XVI It is century

Indeed, the university has attracted teachers like Jean Bodin [ 18 ] , Étienne Dolet [ 19 ] , Arnaud du Ferrier [ 20 ] . She gave several great jurisconsults like Jacques Cujas [ 21 ] , Pierre Grégoire [ 22 ] , Jean de Boyssonné [ 23 ] , Jean de Coras [ 24 ] , Guillaume Duranti, Pierre du Faure de Sain-Jorry, Géraud de Maynard [ 25 ] , Simon d’Olive du Mesnil [ 25 ] , Jean de Cambolas [ 25 ] , François de Boutaric [ 25 ] , Jean-Baptiste Furgole [ 25 ] , but also great scholars like Fermat Pierre [ 26 ] or Michel Servet [ 27 ] , and great humanists like Michel de l’Hospital [ 28 ] , François Rabelais [ 29 ] , [ 30 ] And probably Michel de Montaigne [ thirty first ] .

Disappearance [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

By the decree of the National Convention of September 15, 1793, the University of Toulouse was abolished and disappears with all the universities in France [ 32 ] , [ 33 ] . The following year his property were confiscated and sold as national goods [ 15 ] .

Empire and Restoration [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

In 1794, a multidisciplinary higher education institute was established in Toulouse, named Institut Paganel . This institute became in 1795 the Central School of Toulouse while the Medicine School took its autonomy [ 34 ] , [ 35 ] . Napoleon established in 1804 a school of law, which took the title of law faculty after the 1808 decree organizing the imperial university. The Central School then disappears that a Faculty of Medicine (1808), a Faculty of Catholic Theology (1809), the Faculty of Letters of Toulouse (1809) and the Faculty of Sciences in Toulouse (1810) are created (1809). [ 36 ] . The Faculty of Catholic theology disappeared in 1843.

Third Republic [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The Walloon law of July 12, 1875 establishes freedom of higher education and authorizes the creation of free faculties sets which can take the name of university. The foundation movement of Catholic universities follows in several major provincial cities. In 1877 the Catholic Institute of Toulouse was founded, in the filiation of the former medieval university, this appellation then being abandoned in the public. Nevertheless, in the context of secular reforms of the Jules Ferry ministry, the law of March 18, 1880 formally prohibits the use of the university name by private higher education establishments, and reaffirms the state monopoly to issue diplomas . Freedom of higher education and its training is not called into question.

The rapprochement between the faculties of state is then envisaged to recreate universities. In 1893, Toulouse higher education became a “body of faculties”, then in 1896 the University of Toulouse was recreated by grouping of the four faculties as well as the Faculty of Protestant Theology of Montauban, created in 1808 then transferred to Montpellier 1919 [ 15 ] , [ 37 ] .
