The University of Paris certainly predates that at Oxford by some 90 years.

I am thus a little taken aback as to why Ancient Origins seems to be so anglophile in choosing Oxford !

The famous Love story of Abelard and Heloise is closely woven around this early centre of learning.

Besides the Paris University has much to explore and review. Dr Ingram F Anderson, Johannesburg.
