Chapter XXXVI

., I.

[174] For a successor or friendly rival to Chartres, in the interest taken in grammar and classical literature, one should properly look to Orleans, where apparently those studies continued to flourish. Cf. L. Delisle, “Les Écoles d’Orléans au douzième siècle,” _Annuaire-Bulletin de la Societé de l’Histoire de France_, t. vii. (1869), p. 139 _sqq._ In a _Bataille des septs arts_, by Henri d’Andeli, of the first half of the thirteenth century, Logic, from its stronghold of Paris, vanquishes Grammar, whose stronghold is Orleans. In the conflict, with much symbolic truth, Aristotle overthrows Priscian, _Histoire littéraire de la France_, t. xxiii. p. 225.
