1224, Frederick II. The foundation of the oldest state university in history. This volume provides the edition and the Italian translation of the letter in which Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, King of Sicily and Emperor, invited students to come to the University of Naples: founded in 1224, is the oldest state University in history. Text and translation are accompanied by a narrative discussion about the date of establishment; the outstanding features; the promises still relevant today. With the foundation of that University, Frederick revolutionized the way of looking at knowledge and learning: for the first time, it is formally and concretely stated that through study the wretch can become noble. Nobility of soul is put before nobility of blood: the most noble and powerful man on earth declares it.
