Learning by Crib: Some Seventeenth-Century Oxford ‘Systems’ (2023)

unapi

This paper takes us back to seventeenth-century Oxford and the undergraduate Arts curriculum. Opening with a summary of how we know about the early modern Oxford Arts experience—from university statutes, printed books, catalogues, commonplace books, and annotated textbooks—the paper then focuses on a lesser studied source, though not one that has missed Mordechai Feingold’s attention, namely the genre of the “curricular crib.” These bare-bone summaries of the undergraduate subjects, almost tabular in many instances, are a glimpse into the very beginnings of the undergraduate Arts experience. Further, the paper shows that, in some instances, as in the “crib” from the rector of Exeter, John Prideaux (1578–1650), a “crib” could affirm the traditional Aristotelian curriculum but a gifted teacher could manipulate and modernize his text, so that pedagogy and scholastic instruction engaged with current trends in research.
