Volume XII of History of Universities contains the customary mix of learned articles, book reviews, conference reports, and bibliographical information, which makes this annual publication such an indispensable book for the historian of higher education. Its contributions range widely geographically, chronologically, and in subject matter. Volume XII includes articles on medieval collegiate statutes, Renaissance psychology, philosophy in nineteenth century German universities, and women academics in Britain, and is, as always, a lively combination of original research and invaluable reference material.
