Look at me hector
Most realistically one of the 2nd – 4th oldest universities in Europe, and the oldest being that Paris. The dates for the university of Oxford, Cambridge, Bologna are very manipulated. Oxford it refers to the first ever professor recorded teaching in Oxford, as professors back then were nomads, and it’s a person referenced once in one line. Bologna refer to some building where people studied roman tablets, slightly less of a stretch but still a stretch.
