These exchanges were concentrated in only three oldest French universities of Montpellier, Orléans and Paris, albeit with significant variations, and in the newly-founded universities north of the Alps in the 14th century, namely those in Prague and Kraków. Mobility was less important and intensive at the end of the Middle Ages because of the policy in favour of establishing national universities. The names of 143 scholars from Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland, who were enrolled in the 14th and 15th centuries in French universities, have been found so far. Several of them played important roles in the history of science in these countries.  VL - 2020 IS - 19 (2020) PY - 2023 SN - 2451-3202 C1 - 2543-702X SP - 233 EP - 259 DO - 10.4467/2543702XSHS.20.008.12564 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-historiae-scientiarum/artykul/mobility-of-scholars-and-sciences-between-bohemia-hungary-poland-and-france-in-the-14th-15th-centuries-the-contribution-of-prosopography-to-the-history-of-sciences KW - prosopography; mobility of scholars and sciences; France; Bohemia; Hungary; Poland; University of Montpellier; University of Orléans KW - University of Paris; University of Prague; University of Kraków; 14th–15th centuries; history of science
