history

On February 22, 1533, the institution was founded on the initiative of the city council, Jurade de Bordeaux . Was commissioned Jean de Tartas (1525-1588) Principal du College de Lisieux in Paris with the planning of such a device. Tartas traveled to Bordeaux in March 1533 for this purpose. His plan was to largely adopt the curriculum of the Collège de Lisieux. He won over Gentian Hervetus (1499–1584) and Jean Visagier (1505–1542). The first lectures began in May 1534. However, since the city council did not provide sufficient funds for the curricula and facilities as requested by Jean de Tartas, his appeal to the Parliament of Bordeaux did not help with the funds required, but rather led to the sudden He was replaced by André de Gouveia in July 1534.

As the first rector, Principal du Collège de Guyenne, André de Gouveia took office on July 15, 1534. He himself had received his lessons at the Collège Sainte-Barbe in Paris in 1522 . Gouveia drew several masters from the Paris colleges of Bordeaux. The neo-Latin and poet Jean Visagier is said to have agreed a somewhat higher annual salary of 400 livres - than is usual in the rest of the college - for his teaching activities.

The Collège de Guyenne had studies in Latin and an introduction to Greek and Hebrew comparable to the contemporary Collèges France or Lisieux in Paris. In his inaugural arrival, de Gouveia announced that he would make no distinction in beliefs between teachers and students, many of whom sympathized with the new teachings of the Reformation , against the background of increasing violence on both sides of the religious positions ( Huguenot Wars ).

Elie Vinet published the regulations of the Collège de Guyenne in 1583 under the title Schola Aquitanica .
