The Universe of Learning
Broad range of subjects
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, tens of thousands of students attended schools and universities in Europe in pursuance of a professional career. In this period, students were required to study subjects categorized under Philosophy and the Liberal Arts. Philosophy (comprising the "sciences" and the "arts") and the Liberal Arts in particular encompass a broad range of subjects, including metaphysics, physics, mathematical disciplines, ethics, family life (oeconomica), politics, logic, rhetoric, grammar, poetics and history, as well as curriculum plans conceived for individual schools and universities.
Selection of works
The series focuses on printed works from the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries and also includes some late fifteenth century works. Amongst others, the series includes textbooks, disputations, orations and curriculum plans. In selecting works for this series, the focus was on materials that enhance our knowledge of philosophy, the liberal arts, and education in general during this period.

Abstract
During the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, physics was regularly taught as part of instruction in philosophy and the arts at Central European schools and universities. However, physics did not have a special or privileged status within that instruction. Three general indicators of this lack of special status are suggested in this article. First, teachers of physics usually were paid less than teachers of most other university-level subject-matters. Second, very few Central European academics during this period appear to have made a career out of teaching physics. And third, Reformation Era schools and universities in Central Europe emphasized language instruction; such instruction not only was instrumental in promoting the confessional-i.e., Calvinist, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic-agendas of those same schools and universities, but also helped to prepare students for service in nascent but growing state governments.
