- Title
The Dispersal of Scholars from Oxford and the Beginnings of a University at Cambridge: A Study of the Sources *.
- Authors
Zutshi, Patrick
- Abstract
The article analyzes Medieval source materials related to the founding of Cambridge University. The execution of two Oxford University scholars by the town of Oxford, England in 1209 resulted in the closing of the colleges and the dispersal of the students and faculty and the establishment of Cambridge. Sources considered include the Dunstable Annals of the Augustinian house of Dunstable in Bedfordshire, England; the St. Albans Annals of the abbey of St. Albans; the Melrose Chronicle from the Cistercian abbey of Melrose in Roxburghshire, England; and the Lanercost Chronicle from the Augustinian priory of Lanercost in Cumberland, England. The historical work entitled “Flores Historiarum,” by Roger of Wendover, is also considered.
