This volume describes the world of Parisian students as exemplified by the Collège de Dormans-Beauvais between 1370 and 1458. The prosopography of this institution is based on an examination of hitherto unused archives: the account books of the college. The first chapter describes how this medieval foundation was transformed by the middle of the 15th century into a teaching institution which foreshadowed the modern college structure. The three following chapters present a sociological analysis of this community, concentrating on the background, training and careers of the fellows. The volume also contains a first critical edition of the statutes of the foundation, and biographies of the 357 fellows and 6 patrons of the college during this period.
