Talk:Appollinaire University

History
it took a bit of digging but I have a good sense of what that might refer to. Today what is called the Pontifical Lateran University was originally founded in 1773. From the Wikipedia article: "...at the site where the Palace of Saint Apollinaris stood in 1853, Pope Pius IX founded the Faculty of Canon Law and Civil Law and the Pontifical Institute Utriusque Iuris." Although that institution was more properly called l'Ateneo del Pontificio Seminario Romano, its connection with the Palazzo Sant'Apollinare is probably what leads to the occasional reference to Università Sant'Apollinare, which might end up as "Apollinaris University" in English. Today the same palazzo is home to the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (see their website here, in Italian, which specially mentions the old Pontificio Istituto di Sant’Apollinare). It seems up in the air to me which present-day university would be most properly considered the "heir" of the old one. — AJDS 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 14:39, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
