“Religious Masters and Teaching Careers at the University of Paris in the Late Middle Ages”
Thomas Sullivan, OSB

The Ordo licentiatorum of the Faculty of Theology of the University of Paris provides the historian with the names of 458 members of the religious orders who incepted as masters of theology between 1373 and 1500. This paper investigates the correlation between regency and length of regency with both previous academic achievement as well as subsequent career. Comparisons will be made between and among the religious according to conversatio (canonical, monastic, and mendicant) and between the various religious orders found within each conversatio.
