The Collège des Quatre-Nations ("College of the Four Nations"), also known as the Collège Mazarin after its founder, was one of the colleges of the historic University of Paris. It was founded through a bequest by the Cardinal Mazarin. At his death in 1661, he also bequeathed his library, the Bibliothèque Mazarine, which he had opened to scholars since 1643, to the Collège des Quatre-Nations. ==Name and composition of the college== The name of the college alludes to the four nations of students at the medieval Parisian university. It was not intended for students of the historical university nations, but for those coming from territories which had recently come under French rule through the Peace of Westphalia (1648) and the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659).〔Babelon 2001, p. 6.〕 According to the Cardinal's will it was to have the following composition: * Flanders, Artois, Hainaut, and Luxembourg (20 students); * Alsace and other Germanic territories (15); * Roussillon, Conflent, and Cerdagne (10); * Pignerol and the Papal states (15) 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「Collège des Quatre-Nations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
