and had your  B.A.  at 18 and your M.A. at 20  (these are averages of course). Then you went into a job  or started wiith something like medicine and took your doctorate. Accessability of books:  You either bought them ,  if you were rich or copied them or used one of the existing libraries as I said above.

No problem here, I would consider that adult.

However, you would have to be quite rich to own books.

Most of the students were quite well off, they came from  rich families or had income from ecclestial offices or were members of Orders. And you could copy books yourself. Thea story of the poor medieval student is  more of lese a myth



The main problem I have with 'college notes' are the questions: "where was this material tought?" and "why do we not have similar examples".


I never talked about  college notes, what  I meant was Laborbücher/lab  books, the notes you  take along your work. This means the content can be original, but I think in the case of the Herbal it is quite obvious
