[edit] Note on deletion

If you're going to speedy this article again, please check What links here and make sure you fix the redirects to the correct location Sorbonne. If you check the history you'll see that this is where it's supposed to point. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 8 July 2005 01:30 (UTC)

[edit] Article Erroneous

This article talks mostly about the Sorbonne, not Paris 1. As the wikipedia article indicates, the University of Paris (the Sorbonne) was split in 13 universities in the early 1970s. Paris 1 is not the Sorbonne (or at least no more than the other 12), contrary to what this article implies. This seems especially inadequate, as Paris 1 was founded as a "new" university, that would be a break from the University of Paris.

I've done a quick clean up, here is what has been removed:

The University of Paris was created at the very beginning of the 13th century, the Collège de Sorbon in 1252.

Thus began an intellectual adventure that was to make France so influential. It was in 1200 that Philippe-Auguste drafted the first official document which gave formal recognition to the University of Paris. In 1231 the importance of the University of Paris was proclaimed in the papal bull Parens Scientarum Est (“mother of the sciences”).

Alongside Oxford and Bologna, Paris is one of the oldest universities in the world.

By the end of the 13th century the influence of the University of Paris was unparalleled, and its contribution to canon law and Christian theology considerable. Its reputation continued to spread and the great of this world, some of whom were to become Vice-Chancellor, became involved in the university.

Despite its support for the French Revolution in 1789, the university was closed for thirteen years until Napoleon formally reinstated it.

During the 19th century, The university gradually adopted the shape and form that we know today (with the exception of the chapel which goes back to Richelieu’s time, the university underwent major reconstruction work from 1885 to 1901).

During the 20th century, as a result of the many conflicts between ancients and moderns, new disciplines gradually found a place in this prestigious temple of learning. As the university expanded, more and more reforms were introduced, but it was the events in 1968 that were to precipitate the breaking up of the university.

[edit] Library

"beautiful Paris 1 library which has a collection of almost three million books" Does it refer to the library of the Sorbonne, Sainte-Geneviève, the "Tolbiac" (centre Pierre Mendès-France) library, or something else? Apokrif 16:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

A source would be good. So would an update (the 200 ones have been out for ages). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.159.209.28 (talk) 02:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
