The Universities of Europe in the Middle Ages, Vol. 1 of 2 - Hastings Rashdall

The writing of this book is a task in which I became involved through winning the Chancellor's Prize at Oxford for an English Essay in 1883. I entered upon it with no intention of undertaking anything more than such a revision and expansion of my Essay as would justify its publication in book form. The Essay was, of course, written in less than a year: the revision has occupied more than eleven. Twelve years will seem none too much to any one acquainted with the extent and the difficulties of the subject: but it is fair to myself to state that I have been throughout pretty fully occupied in teaching subjects quite unconnected with medieval history.
