Sorbonne
Sorbonne , first endowed college in the Univ. of Paris , founded by Robert de Sorbon (1201-74), chaplain of Louis IX, and opened in 1253 for the purpose of providing quarters for theology students who were not friars. Gaining academic and theological distinction in the late Middle Ages and early modern times, the Sorbonne gained preponderance over its early mendicant college rivals, and Sorbonne doctors were frequently called upon to render opinions on important ecclesiastical and theological issues. In the 16th cent., because it became the place for the deliberations of the faculty of theology, this faculty came to be called the Sorbonne, although all its members did not belong to this college. In 1626 it was enlarged. After its suppression (1792) in the French Revolution, the Univ. of Paris took over (1808) the Sorbonne grounds, so that for the years between 1808 and 1885 the Sorbonne existed as the seat of the three faculties of theology and of the Académie de Paris. In 1885 a general council of faculties, presided over by the rector of the university, was created. Sorbonne is frequently used as a name for the Univ. of Paris. |

Sorbonne
Sorbonne. The most famous college of the old University of Paris. It was founded c.1257 by Robert de Sorbon, confessor of Louis IX, for the education of students aspiring to the theological doctorate. From 1554 it was the regular meeting place of the Theological Faculty and the name was popularly applied to that Faculty. It was suppressed in 1793 but re-established as the Theological Faculty of the University in 1808. The faculty was abolished in 1885, but the name ‘Sorbonne’ continued in use for the University of Paris as a whole. Since the latter's reorganization into 13 separate universities in 1969, the name has been attached to those connected with the original site, e.g. Paris I (‘Panthéon-Sorbonne’).
