Abstract

This contribution examines the institutional aspects of the Dominican education system in the English Province. While Franciscan education in England has received a fair amount of scholarly attention, the Dominican counterpart got touched upon only occasionally, be it as a side note in individual works, for instance by Andrew Little, or in studies on English universities in the Middle Ages. Focusing exclusively on Dominican education, this article builds on previous scholarship, but will considerably expand existing knowledge by including new research results as well as previously unknown or unused sources. In particular, it explores if and how order-wide legislation concerning education was implemented, and what specific rules and guidelines were issued by the General Chapter and Masters General with regard to the English Province. One focus of the study is on the studia generalia at Oxford and Cambridge, examining their role both within the English Province and in the Order as a whole. The article also offers new observations on the relationship between the Dominicans and the universities by tracing their exact ties and highlighting the largely political significance of the union for the Dominicans. Besides normative sources, the study considers an unpublished sermon on the correct behaviour of students given in c. 1230 by Robert Bacon, who played a prominent role in the early history of the friars in England; it also draws on English educational writings, such as Robert Kilwardby’s De ortu scientiarum.
