About This Item
Only Edition of the first work on the administration of Parisian lower schools. TEN CHAPTERS DEAL WITH THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS AND THE PRIVATE TEACHING OF CALLIGRAPHY, the latter both widespread and prohibited. The first part presents the history of education in the ancient world and in France before the High Middle Ages. The second concerns the rise of the University and its Faculties. The third confirms the Cantor of Notre Dame as the Paris system's chief administrator since the 8th century. Appointed Cantor in 1672, Joly compiled demographic, topographic, social, pedagogic and legal data to counter the Arts Faculty's usurpation attempts. I have been looking for this book since 1985. A good copy (thin worm trail not affecting legibility), engraved bookplate of French royal historian Denis II Godefroy (1615-81).
