ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses physical conditions; basic teaching; logic; and the other disciplines of the seven arts. How to submit students to the authority of the master and the discipline. It considers the two groups of professor; the most important advice; other advice; the timetable and method of teaching; the behaviour of the master; those who teach abroad; and those who teach in their native land. The chapter provides advice for obtaining teaching and advice for the move and the first year. While the treatises were aimed at different audiences, they all share the same aim: to describe the ideal student. It is now evident that there was significant interest in student behaviour in the Italian states during the late sixteenth end early seventeenth centuries. Instead it accepts and addresses the widespread violence at Italian universities in the early modern period. Its championing of the student-soldier reflects the values of the noble students to whom it was addressed.
