University of Paris Faculty of Theology

It was abolished in 1885 and replaced by a new section in « Religious studies » of the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE).

Between 1373 and 1398, 198 baccalaureate students graduated, including 102 mendicants, 17 monks of the Cîteaux order and 47 seculars.

The convents of the Minors were founded in 1230, the Premonstratensians in 1252, the Bernardins in 1256, the Carmelites in 1259, the Augustinians in 1261 and the Order of Cluny in 1269.

The College of Sorbonne was staffed by thirty-five doctors and had eleven professors of theology[3] and a chair of Hebrew founded by the Duke of Orléans.

[4][5] A new theology faculty was created in 1808, but it was not recognised by the Holy See and clerics were trained almost exclusively in the seminaries.
