| The Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna (Italian: Alma Mater Studiorum Universitą di Bologna, UNIBO) is the oldest continually operating universities in the world,[1] the word 'universitas' being first used by this institution at its foundation. The true date of its founding is uncertain, but believed by most accounts to have been 1088.[2] Since 2000, the University's motto has been Alma mater studiorum (Latin for "fostering mother of studies"). The university received a charter from Frederick I Barbarossa in 1158, but in the 19th century, a committee of historians led by Giosuč Carducci traced the founding of the University back to 1088, making it the oldest university in the strict sense in the word.[3][4] The university is historically notable for its teaching of canon and civil law; indeed, it was set up in large part with the aim of studying the Digest,[5] a central text in Roman law, which had been rediscovered in Italy in 1070, holistic nursing certificationdeacloholized wine drinks | |
