(same source)"The word {red]universitasin the twelfth and thirteenth centuries,
when the new institution was taking shape, did not describe the scope of knowledge
to be explored.It did describe the people who came together in search.Then
universitatis was a general name for a corporation, a group that had a legal
existence. At the two original European universities, in Paris universitas was
the group of masters, while in Bologna it meant the whole body of students."
