Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)This study shows that play and games were much more significant in medieval education than previously assumed. Teachers in monasteries and cathedral schools as well as teachers entrusted with the education of young princes and princesses agreed that physical play was vital for the physical health of their pupils. To a certain degree, this also applied to the training of young scholars at the universities. They were admonished not to exaggerate their game sessions and to choose right and honest games. Not only physical but also moral and scientific instructions were woven into a diverse array of games and play. Moreover, according to Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, well-educated people should acknowledge the necessity of play for human life and at the same time be able to shape their conduct in play in a moderate and virtuous way.
