Professors Álvaro Fernández de Córdova, from the School of Theology of the University of Navarra, and Javier Laspalas, from the School of Philosophy and Letters, presented the book Vincent de Beauvois. Treatise on the training of the sons of the nobility (1246) De eruditione filiorum nobilium.
It is a work of the professors Ildefonso Adeva, Professor Emeritus of the School of Theology of campus, and Javier Vergara, doctor in History of the Education by the University of Navarra and professor of History of the Education in the UNED in Madrid.
The volume, published in the publishing house Library Services de Autores Cristianos (BAC), analyzes one of the first treatises on systematic pedagogy written in the medieval world. "In the De eruditione one finds reflections on the nature of the training, its aims, its agents, its contents, its methods, the educational stages, sociability, femininity, etc. Topics loaded with pedagogical significance that this research intends to recover by presenting Vincent not as the most renowned encyclopedist of the Age average, but as the pedagogue capable of elaborating one of the broadest and most complete pedagogical systematizations of medieval culture", affirm professors Adeva and Vergara.
