Were there really any early Studia Generali in Scotland? There certainly aren't any really old Scottish universities on the List_of_oldest_universities_in_continuous_operation.

The information here, stating that the University of Oxford was among the studii generale, is inconsistent with the Oxbridge article, which states that Cambridge received papal approbation as a studium generale but Oxford never did.

Oxford was generally recognised as a studium generale before Cambridge was even founded. It is correct that Oxford didn't get official papal confirmation of its status until after Cambridge had received it.

Surely the pl. should be 'studia generalia'? I have changed it Oliverkroll 23:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
