Abstract

With the erosion of professors' obligatory celibacy in northwestern European universities in the high Middle Ages, scholars found themselves facing the task of redefining their mode of life and establishing a new type of family, combining social reproduction and the transmission of academic knowledge, and adopting daily habits and dispositions that would allow them to lead the life of the mind within crowded family households without the collective discipline and material infrastructure provided by communal institutions, such as colleges.
