Founder Founding Scroll Sorbonne University 1257
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a pivotal moment in the rich history of the Sorbonne University, as King Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, establishes the institution in Paris, France, in 1257. As the Founder of the Sorbonne and King of France, Louis IX is depicted in regal attire, holding a scroll bearing the university's name, symbolizing the official founding of this esteemed seat of learning. The Sorbonne, which would later become one of Europe's most prestigious universities, was initially established as the College de la Sorbonne, a theological college dedicated to the study of theology. King Louis IX, a devout and educated monarch, was deeply committed to the advancement of education and the spread of knowledge. His vision for the Sorbonne was to create a center of learning where scholars from across Europe could come together to study, debate, and exchange ideas. The print's intricate details bring to life the grandeur of the medieval period, with the king surrounded by dignitaries and scholars, all dressed in the elaborate garments of the time. The ornate architecture of the university's buildings can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of history and tradition. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of King Louis IX and the Sorbonne University, which continues to be a beacon of academic excellence and intellectual curiosity more than 750 years after its founding. The image serves as a reminder of the power of education to transform individuals and societies, and the importance of preserving the rich history of our academic institutions.
