Reading, translating and studing De celebrioribus universi terrarum orbis academiis libri duo of Jacob Middendorp
Abstract
This article presents the work on a book printed in Cologne in 1567. It is the first part of a work that continued in 1572. After three further editions it became an eight books series (1602). It is considered the first published work on the History of the Universities. Obviously it was written in Latin. In this text there are many quotes and references from various sources. That was usual in a sixteenth-century scholarly work. In order to draw attention to it, we offer a selection of curious and even picturesque quotations, with some appropriate comments as well. We believe Luis Gil would have liked it.
