By this, however, we are to understand nothing less than a Universitas litterarum, where attention was given to the whole circle of the sciences.
The name signifies the Universitas magistrorum et scholarium rather than an articulated whole.
For by the middle of the thirteenth century they are found organized in two Universitates, or corporations, a Universitas Citramontanorum and a Universitas Ultramontanorum; each under its own Rector.
A University, universitas doctorum et scholarium, was so called either from its incorporation, or from its professing to teach all subjects, as some have thought.
The organisation of the Universitas ultimately confined membership of congregation to students, and the powers of the Rector rendered the magisterial jurisdiction merely nominal.
A Universitas was an association in the world of learning which corresponded to a Guild in the world of commerce, a union among men living in a Studium and possessing some common interests to protect and advance.
The Universitas Studii, the guild of the School, became, technically and officially, the Studium Generale itself, and Studia Generalia were distinguished by the kind of Universitates or guilds which they possessed.
The students of Arts and Medicine, who at first possessed no organisation of their own and were under the control of the great law-guilds, succeeded in the fourteenth century in establishing a new Universitas within the Studium.
The Universitates of the Studium of Bologna were guilds of students; the Universitas of the Studium of Paris was a guild of masters.
Although the city of Bologna never admitted the jurisdiction of a Universitas over citizens of the town, there were some classes of citizens whose trade or profession made them virtually its subjects.
Recent writers on University history have pointed out that Universitas vestra, in a letter addressed to a body of persons, means merely "the whole of you" and that the term was by no means restricted to learned bodies.
Originally, a Universitas could exist in a less (p.
In 1592 there were at Padua two Universities, that of the jurists, and that of the humanists--the Universitas juristarum and the Universitas artistarum.
The jurists' University was the most important, both in numbers and in the rank of its students; the artistarum Universitas consisted of the faculties of divinity, medicine, and philosophy.
As has been shown, it was applied in terms to a sale of the universitas for business purposes, and to at least one case where the succession was confined to a single specific thing.
This sale of the universitas was afterwards extended beyond the case of inheritance to that of bankruptcy, when it was desired to put the bankrupt's property into the hands of a trustee for distribution.
The expression universitas juris is not classical, but for the notion jurisprudence is exclusively indebted to Roman law; nor is it at all difficult to seize.
The first question relates to the universitas juris; that is, a university (or bundle) of rights and duties.
These, whatever be their character and composition, make up together a universitas juris; and there is but little danger of mistake in forming the notion, if we are only careful to remember that duties enter into it quite as much as rights.
A universal succession is a succession to a universitas juris.
Inverting this order we have therefore to inquire what is a universitas juris; what is a universal succession; what is the form of universal succession which is called an inheritance?
A universal succession is a succession to a universitas juris, or university of rights and duties.
A universitas juris is a collection of rights and duties united by the single circumstance of their having belonged at one time to some one person.
Gradually, because of this word constantly occurring at the beginning of letters to the faculty, the term universitas came to be applied to the institution.
The Latin word universitas had quite a different {21} usage at that time.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "universitas" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
