University of Dole
Encyclopedia
The University of Dole
was founded in 1422 by Philip the Good of Burgundy, and was a leading university in western Europe, historically notable for its teaching of canon and civil law. It operated as a student run university on the Bologna
model.
In 1613 the college of teachers at the University sent a formal deputy to the archdukes in Brussels
, seeking to convert the University to a Magisteruniversität such as at Louvain
and Douai
. The archdukes issued edicts (1616-1618) with that intent, but the students would not have it, overtly repudiated the edicts, and boycotted the university. It is probable that the edicts were never enforced.
