Sumario:Since the origin of the University of Paris in the second decade of the thirteenth century, the numerous confrontations between the magistri artium and the theologians had also strong consequences against the former: condemnations by the Church, excommunications, prohibitions, and a number of exiles of those who continued spreading condemned theses among their students. The following study is based on the sole available edition of the De Laudibus Parisiis of John of Jandun (whose partial translation we offer in the appendix) one of the many Parisian teachers who were forced to the exile. Throughout the work, this polemical character will be introduced by briefly addressing his biography, the controversies he was involved in and, mainly, the praise of Paris, which arose in response to one of those disputes. It will also be shown how his training as a master of arts led him to defend heterodox positions contrary to the ecclesiastical authority and always in favour of the lights of philosophy.
