MUNRO, D.C. _The Mediaeval Student_. (Translations and Reprints from the Original Sources of European History, Vol. II, No. 3.) The student should not fail to procure this little pamphlet, which is a necessary supplement to several of the readings in the present collection. It contains useful explanatory notes as well as important documents. Price, ten cents. Longmans, Green & Co., New York City. ROBINSON, J.H. _Readings in European History_. Vol. I, chap. xix, and especially pp. 446-461. Readings on Abelard, Aristotle in the Universities, Roger Bacon. HENDERSON, E.F. _Select Historical Documents of the Middle Ages_, pp. 262-266. Charter of the University of Heidelberg, 1386. =2. General References on the History of Mediaeval Universities.= RASHDALL, HASTINGS. _The Universities of Europe in the Middle Ages_. Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1895. 1273 pages, 2 vols. in three parts. Much the best work on the subject; based on the sources. Indispensable for reference. MULLINGER, J.B. _Encyclopedia Britannica_, Art. _Universities._ "The first tolerably correct (though very brief) account which has appeared in English." Includes university history to 1882. _Encyclopedia Britannica_ and other encyclopedias. The student who may not have access to works mentioned in this list is reminded that brief accounts of the men and the subjects here considered are often to be found in good encyclopedias. =3. Bibliographies.= The best single collection of references to the extensive literature of the subject is in Rashdall's work, though this does not include books and articles published since 1895. Compayre (see below) includes a brief list. References to sources and secondary works on the Seven Liberal Arts are published by Abelson; references relating to university text-books of Greek origin by Loomis (see below). =4. Text-books.= COMPAYRE, G. _Abelard and the Origin and Early History of Universities._ New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1892. Still the best single text-book for class use. Contains numerous errors, which should be corrected by comparison with Rashdall. WOODWARD, W.H., _editor_. _Mediaeval Schools and Universities._ Cambridge Contributions to Modern History, I. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. This work, which is still in preparation, will probably supersede Compayre. 5. References to Special Topics. All of the topics treated in this collection of readings are discussed by Rashdall and Compayre. Page references may be found by use of the indexes appended to their books. =Introduction=. On the historical point of view see J.H. ROBINSON, _Readings in European History_, Vol. I, Chap. I; on the place and use of documents, and other questions relating to the study of history, LANGLOIS and SEIGNOBOS, _Introduction to the Study of History_.
