Quotes by Michael Lynch (?)

“The Church and learning had formed the main channels through which Scotland's links with Europe - in both directions - had run. In 1560 or 1638 as much as in 1450, students went abroad to pursue a second degree: in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, their most usual destinations were the universities of Louvain and Cologne; Paris was the favourite resort of promising Scots scholars for the two generations either side of the Reformation of 1560; by the 1580s the Calvinist University of Heidelberg and the Huguenot academies had taken over from Beza's Geneva; and by 1625 Leiden in the Netherlands had become a Mecca for the two rising professions, the ministry and the law.”
