Our university from 9th century first in Europe
Profile of Western universities can be seen from what they in the 13th century, following the basic ideas have four faculties: theology, medicine, law, philosophy. In Coimbra in 1290 were studied law, grammar, logic, philosophy of nature and medicine. Also, even during the 13th century Oxford was established school books system and programs
In the western world does not know that St. Clement of Ohrid University is the first university in Europe. St.. Clement, the late 9th and early 10th century, as bishop of the great diocese, creates the first organized church in the Balkan Peninsula. 886 creates the Ohrid university with about 3,500 students, most of which, later, ordained priests, and dzhakoni protodzhakoni. The Balkan Peninsula is received Christianity very early, at the time of St. Paul at first, and the Slavic tribes between the 7th and 9th century. St. Clement of Ohrid University called so far as literary school or center of Slavic literature and cultural activity. Indeed, creating the Slavonic alphabet, Cyrillic, the founders of this university are translated and prescribed holy books, creating their own works to continue the mission of spreading Christianity. St.. Clement wrote the famous book "Praise words of Cyril." Bringing the language of the Macedonians in literary and educational activity they create actually Macedonian-Slav literacy. St.. Naum monastery founded in 905, at the same time, concerned with treating people, that there are legends.
We can make parallels with the great cult of St. Patrick, which is important for the spread of Christianity in Western Europe. The Celtic island (Ireland) said, namely, conversion of the population conducted in 432, and introduced the first apostle, and the book "Confessions" won a place in world literature. There are legends, for example, that he root out the snakes and all venomous animals on the island. As a result of the established tradition in the sixth and seventh centuries, created the flourishing of Celtic-Christian religious art and civilization, which has strong influence on the spread of Christianity in Western Europe.
The Latin root of the word university speeches, in fact, according to Plato, Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, that only the parts within the whole mean something. The mission is that to achieve the unity of the beautiful, wise and real. That "turn dark in light," as it follows the setting of "The Book of Kelsey," illustrated manuscript of the Gospel from the 9th century, considered the most beautiful book in the world, "Trinity College" in Dublin.
In Western Europe, the University developed the rhetorical and vocational schools. Even in 1119 founded the University of Bologna, in Oxford in 1214, in Salamanca in 1218, in Cambridge in 1229, in Coimbra in 1290, while the College of Sorbonne founded the Robert de Sorbonne in 1257 as a school of theology for poor students.
Profile of Western universities can be seen from what they in the 13th century, following the basic ideas have four faculties: theology, medicine, law, philosophy. In Coimbra in 1290 were studied law, grammar, logic, philosophy of nature and medicine. Also, even during the 13th century Oxford was established school books system and programs. Profile is seen and learned through the example of the Jewish theologian and philosopher of the 12th century Memonides Moses, born in Cordoba, who for konkistot fled to Cairo. Despite being a theologian and philosopher, he entered the law, commerce, and knowing the medicine, became physician to the sultan PLC.
The conclusion can be drawn is that the top universities, whether Eastern or Western Europe, connected with the study of theology and the secular tradition. Although retained and developed based on its status in the Middle Ages due to many reasons, St. Clement University manifested these characteristics, and time with the right is the first in Europe.
Today the university is conceived by the Big Bologna Charter 1988., But which is based on reform, conducted at the foundation of Berlin University in 1810, the visionary humanist Wilhelm von Humboldt (1787-1835), who strive for autonomy, unity the humanities and natural sciences and the unity of scientific and teaching activity.
