History

• The university dates back to the Madrasah Yusufiyya, founded in 1349 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada, a type of Arabic university where medicine, calculus, astronomy, geometry and logic were taught, and it was destroyed after the surrender of Granada in 1492, most of its manuscripts being burnt in a bonfire ordered by Cardinal Cisneros in Bib-Rambla square.该校的历史可追溯至 1349 年由格拉纳达苏丹优素福一世创办的优素福伊斯兰学院，这是一类教授医学、算术、天文、几何与逻辑的阿拉伯式学府；1492 年格拉纳达投降后它被拆毁，其大部分手稿在红衣主教西斯内罗斯下令于比夫兰布拉广场举行的焚书之火中烧毁。

• Between 1492 and 1531 the madrasah was replaced by an ecclesiastical college called San Cecilio, founded to facilitate the religious and political integration of Granada's predominantly Muslim and Jewish communities into the Catholic Monarchy.1492 至 1531 年间，该伊斯兰学院被一所名为圣塞西利奥的教会学院取代，其创立旨在推动以穆斯林与犹太人为主的格拉纳达社群融入天主教君主国。

• The University of Granada was officially founded in 1531 through a papal bull issued by Pope Clement VII, and it was thereby granted the same privileges, faculties and legal status as the universities of Bologna, Paris, Salamanca and Alcala.格拉纳达大学于 1531 年经教宗克雷芒七世颁布的敕令正式成立，并由此获得与博洛尼亚、巴黎、萨拉曼卡与阿尔卡拉等大学同等的特权、学科设置与法律地位。
