Description
Summary:Martin Wallraff
The University of Basel was founded in 1460 on the basis of a privilege from Pope Pius II. As a young man (and then still known as Enea Silvio Piccolomini), this pope had spent several years in the town and felt a strong affinity with it throughout his life. This volume begins with an examination of this prominent humanist (Arnold Esch) and describes the contexts of the founding of the university in a series of further articles. The other examined dimensions are the urban (Kaspar von Greyerz) and university (Rainer Schwinge) contexts, as well as the church (Amy Burnett) and art (Andreas Beyer)
