Nomination Form MEMORY OF THE WORLD REGISTER The Archives of the University of Leuven (1425-1797) : University Heritage of Global Significance (Belgium) 2012-37 1 SUMMARY Universities, known and recognized as the most important institutions for higher education and research, are worldwide organized according to the same model, characterized by its subdivision in faculties. They originated in Western Europe during the 12th-13th centuries, further developed during the Western Middle Ages, and spread over the colonies of European states from the 16th century onwards (first in the Americas: Santo Domingo (1538); first in Asia: Manila (1611)) and have been adopted worldwide since the 19th century. Universities are by far the most influential modellers of the intellectual heritage of the world. th In the 16 century, Leuven was the largest university after Paris, north of the Alps. The presence of prominent savants such as Desiderius Erasmus, Gerard Mercator and Justus Lipsius attracted much international attention. The foundation of the Collegium Trilingue in 1517 was a milestone in the history of humanism. Leuven also played a major international role in the earliest developments of typography and cartography, and in the introduction of the Catholic reformation. While the well preserved architectural patrimony is a very visible reminder of the impact of the old University of Leuven (Louvain) (1425-1797), the most convincing testimony of its larger meaning and importance for society can be found in the almost 200 linear metres of university records. They are – despite their eventful history – one of the most homogenous university archives from the Ancien Régime. These archives provide a thorough insight into the reality of an early modern university in a manner only very few archives can do, be it at intellectual, social, religious or cultural level. Not only do they offer insight into classical university infrastructures, such as the colleges, the anatomical theatre and the botanic garden, but also into the university tribunals and the administration of the university beer and wine cellar, which all bequeathed well ordered homogenous archives. These not only show the functioning of the university, but also demonstrate the interactions between students, professors and the broader society 2 DETAILS OF THE NOMINATOR 2.1 Name (person or organisation) State Archives in Belgium (Leuven) KU Leuven (University of Leuven), University Archives and Art Collections Archives of the Université catholique de Louvain 2.2 Relationship to the documentary heritage nominated The State Archives in Belgium (Leuven) and the KU Leuven (University of Leuven) preserve the archives of the medieval and early modern University of Leuven.

When the French troops approached the city in 1794, large parts of the archives were brought to safety abroad, as far as Denmark. What remained in Leuven was confiscated by the French after the dissolution of the university in 1797 and stored at the State Archives in Brussels. The records that were taken away by Jan Frans Van de Velde, professor in theology, librarian and archivist of the university, underwent a real odyssey. The French discovered one part and added it to the confiscated archives in Brussels. A second part made its way to a seminary at 's-Hertogenbosch, where it remained hidden until about 1909; in 1983, it became property of the University of Leuven again thanks to an exchange. A third part ended up in the archives of the Seminary of the Diocese of Gent and was deposited at the KU Leuven (University of Leuven) in 2001. The archival fonds preserved at the State Archives mainly contain administrative records: the documents of the activities of the central administration, the faculties, the colleges, and other institutional units. The archives of the rector contain among others administrative affairs relating to the students, the accounts and the decisions of the academic council. Other records have been created by the five faculties (theology, canon law, civil law, medicine and the Artes) and the more than 60 colleges where students resided and studied. The exercise of certain privileges regarding immunity, right of appointment and tax exemption led to the creation of extensive archival series. In the course of the 19th century, this fonds was complemented by the acquisition of various archival documents that had gone astray, among which were documents from the collection P.F.X. De Ram. All these archives have been opened up for research in 1927 thanks to the famous inventory by Henri De Vocht (see below). When a State Archives repository was set up in Leuven in 2001 (in one of the former university colleges), the archives were transferred from Brussels. The Archives service of the KU Leuven (University of Leuven) preserves the largest part of the charter treasure (approx. 375 charters) and other archival material which mostly originates from the central administration, the faculty of theology and some colleges. In 1909 the diocese of ‘s- Hertogenbosch returned the bull of foundation it preserved since 1794. Only a few years later, when the Germans invaded Leuven in August 1914, this bull was lost in the blaze of the university library. In order to make this – scattered - picture complete, we should remark that some discrete items of limited volume are still preserved elsewhere, for instance at the Belgian Royal Library in Brussels (Manuscripts no. 22172, 22192, 22197, 22199, II 187, II 199). SIGNIFICANT RECORDS The value and homogeneity of these archives is perhaps more reflected by the beautiful backbone series rather than by isolated items: - In the registers of enrolment (RAL, OUL, no. 22-29), the rectors personally recorded the names of the thousands of students who studied at the alma mater in Leuven in the course of the Ancien Régime. Reusens, Wils and Schillings published these registers. Bibliography: Matricule de l'Université de Louvain, eds. Edmond Reusens, Joseph Wils and Arnold Schillings, Brussels, 1903-1980; Leo Van Buyten, ‘De Leuvense 3 Universiteitsmatrikels (16de-18de eeuw). Kritische beschouwingen’, in: Arca Lovaniensis, 3, 1974, 9-35; Peter Vandermeersch, ‘The Reconstruction of the Liber Quintus intitulatorum Universitatis Lovaniensis (1569-1616). An Application: the Theologians 1562-1578’, in: Lias, 12, 1985, 1-80. - The acta universitatis, the minutes of the academic council (1432-1793, RAL, OUL, no. 51-88), and the acta of particular faculties have an important research value (theology: 1608-1796, RAL, OUL, no. 387-391; Artes: 1427-1791, RAL, OUL, no. 710-725). They bear witness to the actions of the academic council and of the faculty administration. The first two volumes of the minutes of the academic council (1432-1455) have been published (see 4.1) - The collection of charters contains almost all papal and princely privileges, granted to the university between 1425 and 1797. These charters constituted the legal basis on which the Alma Mater was able to act. The exercise of these privileges was time and again contested and the documents on which they were based have often been used. For instance, we can mention: - The (burnt) bull of foundation and the related privileges (the four papal bulls of 9 December 1425 and three bulls of 9 September 1427) (UAL/OU/M 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 34) Bibliography: Marc Nelissen a.o., De stichtingsbul (see 4.1); Erik Van Mingroot, Sapientie immarcessibilis (see 4.1). - The appointment privilege of Leo X for the Artes faculty, 19 September 1513,

Leuven Department of Sociology Centre for Theoretical Sociology and Sociology of Education Postgraduate Research Training in Belgium Ilse Beuselinck Jef C. Verhoeven Leuven, 1996 2 POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH TRAINING IN BELGIUM I. Beuselinck J.C. Verhoeven Postgraduate research training in Belgium is a rather recent phenomenon. Like in many West-European countries until the 1970s more attention was paid to the expansion of the universities. New universities were created in the 1960s and 1970s in order to give more youngsters the opportunity to enjoy a university education, a policy which was accompanied with more financial support for the existing universities and the expansion of scholarships for not wealthy but capable students. This development was not free from problems. Belgium is a divided country with three important cleavages which had in those years an important influence on political decisions. First, there is the religious cleavage: the split between the Roman Catholics and the anticlericals. Second, the cleavage between working classes and the propertied classes. Third, the linguistic cleavage between the Flemish and the French-speaking group. Also the university expansion was influenced by these oppositions. Belgium has in addition to state universities a strong group of free universities, mainly Catholic, but two non-confessional universities as well. Each university wanted to take as much advantage of the university expansion politics as possible. Since 1971 both systems, free and state universities are subsidized on equal basis. Moreover, the opposition between the Dutch speaking group and the French speaking group was the cause of fierce debate about the means for university expansion in Flanders, The French-speaking Community, and Brussels (Verhoeven, 1982).

  • The Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan
    THE THRENODIA HIBERNO- CATHOLICA (1659) AND THE IRISH FRANCISCAN COMMUNITY IN THE TYROL By Nienke Tjoelker This article focuses on Maurice Conry’s Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan community in the Tyrol. Conry's work is an example of many Latin works written by Irish exiled clergy on the Continent in the mid-seventeenth century. In this contribution, after outlining the authorial issues, a summary of the contents of the Threnodia is given and then placed in the context of the expatriate clerical Irish of the 1650s. The piece concludes with a section on contemporary reactions to itinerant Irish friars, mainly from within mendicant circles. The Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica, sive Planctus Universalis Totius Cleri et Populi Regni Hiberniae was published under the pseudonym of F. M. Mori- sonus, ordinis observantiae, S. Theologiae Lector, Praefatae Crudelitatis testis ocularis in Innsbruck, 1659. Although often mentioned by historians as an important source for our knowledge of the atrocities of Cromwell against the Irish in the 1650s, little research has been done into this work since Brendan Jennings published his edition of the work in 1947 with a short introduction.1 In this article, I will address the question of why this book was published in Innsbruck, and not in any of the more famous Irish centres on the conti- nent, such as Prague, Paris, or Louvain. The historical context of the Irish Franciscan community in the Tyrol (modern day Tirol in Austria, and Südti- rol and Trentino in Italy) seems to me a gap in the existing research on Irish exile communities on the continent.

GREAT AT LOUVAIN (Special Dispatch by the International News Service) London, Sept. 25.—1 n spite of the controversy over the exact extent to which the ancient city of Louvain was damaged, the allies contending that the Germans practiced vandalism and de- stroyed priceless architectual and art works, while the Germans declare they left the greater portion of the town unharmed, it is certain that the great university there was demolished.

    I. The Irish Franciscan college of St. Anthony at Louvain was granted a bull of foundation by Pope Paul V on 3 April 1607. This small house in what is now Leuven, Belgium, became one of the most intense centres of Irish engagement with Europe. Its history, both that of the friars who inhabited the college itself and that of the soldiers, diplomats and merchants who supported it, is also the story of Ireland’s decisive step into Europe. St. Anthony’s College owed both its foundation and location to Florence Conry a Franciscan friar and future archbishop of Tuam. Conry, a native of the townland of Figh part of the civil parish of Tibohine, barony of Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon, belonged to the learned family of the Uí Mhaoil Chonaire and had been trained in seanchas or traditional learning before leaving to study in Salamanca. He later entered the Franciscan order and, apart from a short return to Ireland as ‘confessor, adviser and favourite’ of Red Hugh O’Donnell just before the battle of Kinsale in 1601, spent his life in the Spanish dominions. The combination of Gaelic sensibility, Spanish courtiership, political astuteness and Latinate scholarship found in Conry helps explain the choice of Louvain as a novitiate-in-exile and house of studies for the Irish Franciscans. Founded in 1425, Louvain’s medieval university had developed into one of the intellectual powerhouses of Europe. Given its short distance from the border with the Protestant Netherlands the university had become one of the key centres of counter-reformation thought which, when combined with its proximity to the vast printing presses of Antwerp made it an ideal training ground for priests for the Irish mission.

  • Devolution, Nation-Building and Development Assistance
    Devolution, Nation-Building and Development Assistance: A Case Study of the Welsh Government’s Wales for Africa Programme Kathleen Mulready This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Geography and Planning Cardiff University 2017 Abstract Devolution, Nation-Building and Development Assistance A Case Study of the Welsh Government’s Wales for Africa programme Abstract This study explores Wales for Africa, the Welsh Government’s international development programme. It particularly considers the issues of political decentralisation, and participation in development assistance, on the making of national identity in contemporary Wales. Using a case study methodology, and a conceptual framework of the sub-state and the citizen as development actor, it explores how notions of Welsh subjectivity are tied to iterations of national identity and civic value, constructed around the concept of sustainable development, and ideas of mutual benefit and reciprocity in international development. It focuses specifically on community-based development organisations linked with partner organisations in sub- Saharan Africa. Although the potential benefits of citizen-led development initiatives to right-based approaches are recognised, little attention has previously been paid to the role of international development to sub-state nation-building. The study seeks to address this gap. Situated within the field of interpretive policy analysis, the thesis adopts a context sensitive approach focussed on how a political narrative around nationhood and civic value has been constructed around Wales’ development activities as a symbol of an alternative nation. Beginning with political devolution, the timeframe of the study ends at October 2016.
