THE UNIVERSITY OF PAVIA

Already since the year 825 Pavia was the seat of an important school of rhetoric established by Emperor Lothair I, which in turn inherited the tradition of a law school founded by the Roman Emperor Theodosius I. Throughout the medieval period school was in a flourishing business; eleventh century Pavia became the seat also un'attestata law school. However, it is only thanks to Emperor Charles IV in 1361, which was founded in Pavia a Studium Generale, which Pope Boniface IX recognized the same rights as the University of Bologna and Paris. With imperial diploma dated 1485 the Studium Generale was then transformed into a University.
