Early academic development
As a modern institution, academia began to develop in the Middle Ages (350- 1450). At this time, the Roman Empire collapsed and the new regime began to control Western Europe. Since the dark ages, Europe is still in a period of illiteracy and information loss. The only treasure house of ancient knowledge is the Catholic monastery, where hermits, monks and priests wrote all the knowledge in the world and copied books meticulously. These ancient knowledge were preserved and survived in the dark ages.
No one can understand ancient Greece and Rome and the knowledge handed down, unless he goes to a monastery. Education in monasteries is limited to those who want to become monks and priests. However, in the 1 1 century, some Roman Catholic church leaders began to reform and increased their understanding of early European society.
They believe in Plato, Aristotle, Euclid, Homer, Sophocles and other people who belong to the people, not just to religion. Monks and priests left the monastery and began to enter the city cathedral to open the first school dedicated to advanced research.
