  • Bernardino Bravo Lira Universidad de Chile

Abstract

The author draws a parallel between the development of the university as an institution in Europe in the late Middle Ages and its transplantation to the Indies. Bravo analizes the birth and progress of two of them, which have become the University of Chile and the University of Córdoba. Their hispanoamerican origins allowed a blossoming with baroque and modern characteristics that the author analyzes pointing out that they have marked them with their respective imprints. Various periodizations are shown which contribute to drawing parallels and underlining differences. The reader receives guidance regarding the historiographic production that has been written about Ibero-American universities and their achievements.
