The Collège of Guienne was a school founded in 1533 in Bordeaux. The ''collège'' became renowned for the teaching of liberal arts between the years 1537 and 1571, attracting students such as Michel de Montaigne. ==History== In 1533, the ''Jurade'' of Bordeaux (City council equivalent) called teachers from Flanders and from Paris to create the College de Guyenne. In 15 July 1534 André de Gouveia, then rector of the University of Paris for the college of arts (liberal arts), was invited to be principal and was given full freedom to modernize the old college according to the Renaissance humanism ideals. The Collège of Guienne had Latin studies, and introduction to Ancient Greek and Hebrew - like the contemporary Collège de France - On arrival, Gouveia proclaimed that he would not recognize differences of creed in staff and pupils, many of whom showed sympathy to the new doctrines of the Protestant Reformation. There, in 1539, Gouveia welcomed George Buchanan, appointing him professor of Latin. Gouveia's stay at the College de Guyenne lasted until 1547, attracting students like Michel de Montaigne, who later in his ''Essays'' described Gouveia as " ...behind comparison the greatest principal in France."〔Lach (1994), p.12〕 The fame of the teaching -mainly grammar, classical literature, history and philosophy - was such that, in 1552, Italian scholar and physician Julius Caesar Scaliger sent his sons to the college, including Joseph Justus Scaliger. The regulations of the Collège de Guyenne were published by Elie Vinet in 1583 under the title ''Schola Aquitanica''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「College of Guienne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
