Description
Outside of the fields of medicine and civil law, the medieval clergy dominated the ranks of formal educators and educated. This session seeks to explore the role of the secular clergy within educational and educated milieux: papers considering such facets as the secular clergy's involvement in the development of cathedral schools and universities; the educational level of parish clergy; whether and how far education led to career advancement; non-school venues of teaching, such as apprenticeship to the parish priest, or lectures and sermons by archdeacons and bishops; clergy pursuing worldly subjects of study and thought; and clergy as educators of the laity.
