Synopsis

This book explores the origins of degrees in the university system. It investigates their development from their origins in ancient Greek and Roman academies, through the medieval cathedral schools and monastic institutions, and finally to their modern form in the 12th and 13th centuries. The author argues that, contrary to previous scholarship, degrees did not exist before the 12th century. Rather, they emerged as a way to organize and govern the growing number of scholars and teachers in these institutions. They provided a way to recognize academic achievement, and to regulate the teaching and learning process. The book also examines the role of degrees in the development of the modern university system, and their significance in the broader history of education. This book will be of interest to historians of education, scholars of medieval universities, and anyone interested in the development of higher education.
