College of Navarre

[1] The queen bequeathed part of her fine hôtel de Navarre in rue Saint André des Arts, together with lands generated rents of 2000 livres p.a.

Her trustees decided to sell the Paris property and acquire an ample plot on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève (rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Geneviève / rue Descartes), right in the Latin Quarter, and build the college anew.

Provision was made also for the scholars' support, 4 Paris sous weekly for the artists, 6 for the logicians and 8 for the theologians.

The regulations allowed the theological students a fire, daily, from November to March after dinner and supper for one half-hour.

[2] The College was dissolved at the time of the French Revolution, its library dispersed and its archives lost.
