Die Universität Basel und die böhmischen Länder (1460–1630). Eine Matrikelauswertung

Abstract

This study focuses on relations between the Basel University and the Czech Lands since the university’s foundation until 1630. The analysis is based chiefly on the university’s official records, that is, on the university and faculty registers. It follows not only the changes in the numbers of students from Bohemia or Moravia who attended the Basel University in the course of nearly two centuries, but also their geographical, social, and confessional composition, educational profile, and subsequent careers. It concludes by considering other related issues.
