| Sumario: | Matriculation records, which have been used in universities since Medieval times, are one of the most important sources for university and personal history. They recorded the members of the universities with additional information that increased over the centuries. The entry also documented in writing the membership of the university’s separate legal district as a community of teachers and students. This entry was part of the inscription process, which also included taking an oath of allegiance on a part of the gospels in the matriculation book. Women were only allowed to register in Heidelberg from 1900 onwards. |
