An editor has requested for Sorbonne to be moved to Sorbonne (building). Since you had some involvement with Sorbonne, you might want to participate in the move discussion (if you have not already done so). -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 14:08, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

How many faculties post-Revolution?

After the University had been closed and its assets sold during the Revolution in the 18th century, a new University was formed. The fourth paragraph says "A new University of France replaced it in 1806 with four independent faculties: the Faculty of Humanities (French: Faculté des Lettres), the Faculty of Law (later including Economics), the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Theology"... Ummm... that's five. The Faculty of Theology later closed, but I'm pretty sure it should say "five". --Haruo (talk) 19:14, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Nobel Prize Laureates

Hello, I would like to bring attention to the fact that the list of nobel prize laureates affilated with one or more of the successors of the university of Paris does not include the Nobel Prize recipients after 2015. Ever since, there have been several nobel prize laureates affilated with the university of Paris such as Anne l’Huillier, Gerard Monrou, Emanuelle Charpentrier and Philippe Aghion. I suppose that the total number of recipients amounts to more than 60. Hence it is also the university (would be if it didnt split up) with the most laureates among the universities of non-Anglophone world. 2A04:CEC2:9:91E7:A0EE:975F:AEEA:7846 (talk) 15:44, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

The Title of *Universitas*

Current text:

The corporation was formally recognised as an “Universitas” in an edict by King Philippe-Auguste in 1200

However, this does not seem to be accurate.

The charter of liberties that Philip Augustus granted to the Parisian scholars in 1200 breathed not a word about a university. An equal silence was maintained by Pierre the Chanter, Stephen Langton and Robert of Courson, who actively taught and acutely observed their surroundings during the period. By 1215, however, Courson’s statutes, which meticulously regulated studies and discipline at Paris, finally pronounced the word *universitas* but felt no need to define it.---John Baldwin, Paris 1200, p. 211
