Summary
It has been a guiding hypothesis of this study that a major impetus for the educational reforms at universities such as those at Paris, Oxford, and Cambridge, and at a host of studia generalia across Western Europe, was the concern for good, clear, doctrinally sound preaching and teaching. Good preaching and teaching had been called for at the Fourth Lateran Council, and the new mendicant orders in particular heeded that call.
