The
historic University
of Paris (French:
Université
de Paris)
first appeared in the second half of the 12th century, but was in
1970 reorganized as 13 autonomous universities (University of
Paris I–XIII). The university is often referred to as the
Sorbonne
or La
Sorbonne after
the collegiate institution (Collège
de Sorbonne)
founded about 1257 by Robert de Sorbon, but the university as
such is older and was never completely centered on the Sorbonne.
The
Collège de Sorbonne was founded in 1257 by Robert de
Sorbon, after whom it is named. It is also the name of its main
campus in the 5th arrondissement
of
Paris, which now houses several universities (heirs to the former
University of Paris) as well as the Paris rectorate.
It
was originally created for the use of 20 theology students in
1257 as Collège
de Sorbonne by
Robert de Sorbon (1201-1274), a chaplain and confessor to King
Louis IX of France. It quickly built a prodigious reputation as a
center for learning, and by the 13th century there were as many
as twenty thousand foreign students resident in the city, making
Paris the capital of knowledge of the Western world. Today,
foreign students still make up a significant part of its campus.
The
Sorbonne became the most distinguished theological institution in
France and its doctors were frequently called upon to render
opinions on important ecclesiastical and theological issues. In
1622-1626, Cardinal Richelieu renovated the Sorbonne (the present
buildings date from this time, with restorations dating from
1885). In his honor, the chapel of the Sorbonne was added in
1637. When Richelieu died in 1642 he was placed in a tomb within
this chapel.
The
faculty's close association with the Church resulted in it being
closed down during the French Revolution before it was reopened
by Napoleon in 1808 to serve as part of the University of Paris.
Between then and 1885 the Sorbonne served as the seat of the
university's theology faculties and of the Académie de
Paris. At the end of the 19th century, the Sorbonne became an
entirely secular institution.
