of canonical and three of civil law, one of philosophy, and
one of logic, appear also three of medicine, and against 119
students of law we find 23 medical students; these however
were exclusively from distant parts; the native students
were not counted* The majority certainly were of
Italian origin, many however came from Germany. It isnoteworthy
that the teachers and students of law bore the
title of Dominus, those of medicine and philosophy that of '.
Magister. In 1342 the number of teachers was increased
and in the statutes of 1366 we find a regulation that there J
should be at least seven teachers of medicine. In 1431
there were eight, of whom one had to teach osteology as a |
speciality.
Treviso had in the.13th century an institution for the higher J
teaching which was transformed into a studium generate ,
in 1314: this received the imperial favour in 1318. The
town decided to found twelve scholarships, three of them 1
being devoted to medicine. Only a short duration of life
was' destined for this university ; as early as the beginning
of the 15th century it had ceased to exist. j
The academy at Pisa arose in 1343 out of a school of
law. It had to contend with many adverse circumstances:'!
thus, for instance, in 1359 all the professors were dis- ]
charged, there being no money for their salaries. In i4 D 3)'|
the university was broken up for a time and opened again 4
only in 1473, under LORENZO DE MEDICI, who showed it
great favour. From that time it made rapid advances and
attained to a position of high importance at the end of the
15th century. This was due in a large measure to the cir- j
cumstance that the university of Florence which as early ;
as the 14th century had renowned medical teachers on its j
staff and possessed charters of foundation from the Pope .•
and Emperor, was in 1473 removed to Pisa.
The university of Pavia was also developed out of a
school of law. It was raised into a studium generate ^1361 •
