Abstract

Diego de Colmenares’s seventeenth-century Historia de la insigne ciudad de Segovia records how, around 1466, Henry IV of Castile granted a 38,000-maravedi privilege to set up a studium in Segovia, where Philosophy, Grammar and Rhetoric should be taught. Nonetheless, no research study has yet yielded any news as to the structure, regulations and finance of the Segovia studium. This article tries to trace its origins, curricular plan and sources of income, in a attempt to bring to the fore this late-medieval institution of higher learning, so different from the others existing at the time.
