The Influence of Educational Travel on the Careers of Selected Silesians Studying in Padua in the 16th and 17th Centuries

Abstract

During the 16th and 17th centuries, European universities emerged as alluring educational institutions for students, thanks to their outstanding professors and progressive pedagogical approaches. Notably, Italian universities offered not only attractive academic programs but also a plethora of scholarships and waivers, thereby further enhancing their appeal. The continuously expanding University of Padua was particularly attractive for aspiring students from Silesia, who predominantly enrolled in the German Artistic or Juristic faculties. The matriculation records of these academic divisions feature a number of prominent names, such as Angelus Silesius, Laurentius Scholz, and Joachim Cureus, whose careers, as evidenced by their biographies, were greatly influenced by their participation in the transformative Grand Tour.
