From Paris to Gotha: The Circulation of Two Parisian Jesuit Courses between the 16th and the 17th century
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article traces back the history of a collection of manuscript academic course-notes taken by a German student at the end of the sixteenth century and today preserved at the Research Library of Gotha (Thuringien, Germany). It focuses, in particular, on two of them, which transmit texts dictated in Paris: they testify to the large circulation of academic doctrines through the practice of the copy of the course-notes by students.
