| Summary: | This article studies the emergence, from the end of the Middle Ages, of specific spaces in Paris devoted to the transmission of knowledge. Colleges are perhaps the most characteristic places making up the university of Paris, but other buildings also appeared for individual faculties and schools. It was here, and in particular in the communities formed by doctors and surgeons, that the first amphitheatres, or lecture halls, appeared, inspired by Italian models. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the construction of these buildings had a dual character : on the one hand they demonstrated increasing technical perfection, but at the same time they were also expressions of the rivalry between the two corporations. Several of these places still exist today and deserve more attention for their architectural interest and for the traces they preserve of these institutional conflicts. |
