Description: This book analyzes the shift in medieval universities away from the study of classical literature towards logic and philosophy. Once central to the curriculum, classics disappeared from university teaching by 1350. Despite resistance from humanists, this shift resulted from a complex interplay of factors: Clerical opposition to "pagan" literature; the popularity of medieval Latin literature; renewed interest in science; the rise of law and medicine; and the increasing dominance of logic leading to scholastic philosophy and theology. The decline in classics signified a profound change in the intellectual life of medieval universities, foreshadowing the rise of new disciplines and a shift in focus from literary to philosophical and scientific pursuits.
