This book chronicles the extensive reforms to the Viennese university system enacted by Maria Theresa in the 18th century, setting the stage for the institution's modern incarnation. Focusing on the period from 1749 to 1780, the author draws from archival materials to provide an extensive analysis of the political and societal forces that shaped the evolution of the university. The book examines the heated debates over the role of the Catholic Church in education and the struggle to establish German as an academic language. It also explores the clashes between the Jesuits and progressive thinkers like Gerhard van Swieten, who sought to modernize the curriculum and break the church's dominance. This meticulously researched work offers a comprehensive examination of the forces that transformed a medieval institution into a center of enlightenment, making it essential reading for historians of education, scholars of the Enlightenment, and anyone interested in the rich history of Vienna.
