STRANIERI

Questo volume osserva l’università come punto di incontro tra uomini di età diverse e di origini geografiche molteplici. Ciò vale in particolar modo per l’Ateneo patavino, che deve le sue origini proprio a una migrazione di scolari. Un evento circoscritto, che tuttavia rientra nel fenomeno più ampio e diffuso della mobilità accademica che caratterizza il medioevo e la prima età moderna.

In the same issue of the ‘Annali di Storia delle Università Italiane’, there is also a review by G.P. Brizzi of 'Stranieri. Itinerari di vita studentesca tra XIII e XVIII secolo', which I edited with C. La Rocca for the 800th Anniversary of the University of #Padova.

I forgot to mention this week that the ASA (American Sociological Association) has updated their citation manual. I am going to be busy at work this term. I update our citation resources. I honestly do not know what they will do when I graduate. No one else wants this job. Not bragging; people hate working on citations.
