Скачать или смотреть Papal Power: Universities in the Middle Ages

Degrees in the Middle Ages weren’t handed out by private schools or corporations — they required authority. And that authority didn’t come from the Enlightenment. It came from the papacy.

Before the Protestant Reformation, 81 universities had been founded. Of those, 33 received a papal charter, and 20 had both papal and royal charters. The pope didn’t just recognize universities — he empowered them. A papal charter gave a university the legal right to grant degrees that would be honored across Christendom.

The modern idea of accredited education, international academic recognition, and scholarly freedom began with the Church.
