"The history of education and science in the Middle Ages is certainly one of the most dynamic fields of research of the past two decades [...] Specialists guide you through their areas of expertise, staying close to the sources. Without exception, they cite from publications in several languages, classics as well as current literature. All authors succeed in providing the urgently needed "update", as promised by the volume’s editor Cédric Giraud […] Thus, this anthology consolidates recent research on the development of education and science in the 12th century, and also pinpoints debates that have yet to take place." (translated from German)Anne Greule, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, in Francia Recensio 2020.1 DOI: 10.11588/frrec.2020.1.71475„Die Geschichte von Bildung und Wissenschaft im Mittelalter gehört sicher zu den dynamischsten Forschungsfeldern der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte […] Spezialistinnen und Spezialisten, die souverän und quellennah durch ihr Themengebiet führen. Ausnahmslos rezipieren sie Publikationen in mehreren Sprachen, Klassiker ebenso wie aktuelle Literatur. Allen Autorinnen und Autoren gelingt es, das vom Herausgeber Cédric Giraud angekündigte, dringend benötigte »Update« bereitzustellen […] Somit konsolidiert der Sammelband einerseits die jüngst erzielten Forschungsergebnisse zur Bildungs- und Wissenschaftsentwicklung im 12. Jahrhundert, weist aber auch auf noch zu führende Debatten hin.“Anne Greule, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, in Francia Recensio 2020.1 DOI: 10.11588/frrec.2020.1.71475
