Talk:Liberal arts education/Archives/2019

Taught in monasteries? Or where?

'After the 9th century, the remaining three arts of the 'humanities' – grammar, logic, and rhetoric – were grouped as the trivium. It was in that two-fold form that the seven liberal arts were studied in the medieval Western university.'

There were no universities in Europe in the 9th century, so where was liberal arts taught at that point and up until the first universities? And once the universities appeared, did education in other institutions continue? I see William of Occam was educated as a Franciscan, not, afaik in a university, yet he was clearly educated in matters like logic and philosophy. LastDodo (talk) 20:43, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
