History

• The university is conventionally said to have been founded in 1222, when a large group of students and professors left the University of Bologna in search of more academic freedom, although schools of law and medicine with students from various nations certainly existed near Padua before that date.该校通常被认为创办于 1222 年，当时一大批学生与教授为寻求更多学术自由而离开博洛尼亚大学，不过在 1222 年前帕多瓦附近已确实存在有各地学生就读的法律与医学学校。

• The first place where the group from Bologna settled was Vicenza University, where they were welcomed, and only after various vicissitudes did the seat move permanently to Padua, where law and theology were the first subjects taught.这批来自博洛尼亚的师生最初落脚于维琴察大学并受到欢迎，经过一番波折之后校址才最终迁到帕多瓦，最初教授的科目是法律与神学。

• By 1399 the institution had divided into two bodies, a Universitas Iuristarum for civil law and canon law and a Universitas Artistarum teaching astronomy, dialectic, philosophy, grammar, medicine and rhetoric, and a Universitas Theologorum had been established in 1373 by Pope Urban V.到 1399 年，学校分为两个部分：教授民法与教会法的法学家大学，以及教授天文、辩证法、哲学、语法、医学与修辞的艺术家大学；此前教皇乌尔班五世已于 1373 年设立神学家大学。

• Teaching was interrupted for long stretches, with no teaching in 1237 to 1261, 1509 to 1517 and 1848 to 1850, and the medieval course lasted six years, reduced to five in the sixteenth century and to four in the seventeenth.该校教学曾长期中断，1237 至 1261 年、1509 至 1517 年以及 1848 至 1850 年都没有开课；中世纪课程为期六年，16 世纪缩短为五年、17 世纪再缩短为四年。

• From the fifteenth to the eighteenth century the university was renowned for research in medicine, astronomy, philosophy and law, and at the time it was the most renowned school of medicine in the world.从 15 世纪到 18 世纪，该校在医学、天文学、哲学与法学研究上声名卓著，当时是世界上最有名的医学院校。

• Padua came under the Republic of Venice in 1405, and under Venetian rule the university entered its most brilliant period, enjoying relative freedom and independence.1405 年帕多瓦并入威尼斯共和国，在威尼斯统治下该校进入最辉煌的时期，享有相对的自由与独立。

• During this period the university adopted the Latin motto Universa universis patavina libertas, meaning that Paduan freedom is universal for everyone.正是在这一时期，该校采用了拉丁文校训「Universa universis patavina libertas」，意为「帕多瓦的自由对所有人一律适用」。

• In 1493 the law faculty moved to the Hospitium Bovis, a large inn of the time which after expansion and rebuilding became the university's main seat, the Palazzo del Bo.1493 年法学院迁入 Hospitium Bovis，这座当时很大的旅店经过扩建改建后成为学校的主校址——博宫。

• The Botanical Garden of Padova, established by the university in 1545, is one of the oldest gardens of its kind in the world, though its claim to be the oldest academic garden is contested because the Medici created one in Pisa in 1544.帕多瓦植物园由该校于 1545 年建立，是世界上同类植物园中最古老的一座，不过其「最古老学术植物园」的名号存在争议，因为美第奇家族已于 1544 年在比萨建园。

• The university began teaching medicine about 1250 and played a leading role in the identification and treatment of diseases and ailments, specialising in autopsies and the inner workings of the body.该校约在 1250 年开始教授医学，在疾病与病症的辨识和治疗上发挥主导作用，尤以尸检与人体内部结构研究见长。

• Since 1595 the university's famous anatomical theatre has drawn artists and scientists studying the human body during public dissections, and it is the oldest surviving permanent anatomical theatre in Europe.自 1595 年起，该校著名的解剖剧场在公开解剖中吸引了研究人体的艺术家与科学家，它是欧洲现存最古老的永久性解剖剧场。

• The anatomist Andreas Vesalius held the chair of Surgery and Anatomy and in 1543 published his anatomical discoveries in De Humani Corporis Fabrica, a book that triggered great public interest in dissections and led many other European cities to establish anatomical theatres.解剖学家安德烈亚斯·维萨里曾任外科与解剖学教授，并于 1543 年出版解剖学著作《人体的构造》，该书引发公众对解剖的极大兴趣，促使欧洲许多其他城市也建立解剖剧场。

• On 25 June 1678 Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia, a Venetian noblewoman and mathematician, became the first woman in the world to be awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree.1678 年 6 月 25 日，威尼斯贵族女性、数学家埃莱娜·卢克雷齐娅·科尔纳罗·皮斯科皮亚成为世界上第一位获得哲学博士学位的女性。

• Galileo Galilei held the chair of mathematics at Padua between 1592 and 1610 and greatly influenced the methods of scientific and natural enquiry.伽利略·伽利莱在 1592 至 1610 年担任该校数学教授，对科学与自然研究的方法产生了深远影响。

• Padua was under Austrian imperial rule in the nineteenth century until it was joined to the Kingdom of Italy in 1867, a period in which the distinction between the Universitas Iuristarum and the Universitas Artistarum disappeared.19 世纪帕多瓦受奥地利帝国统治，直到 1867 年并入意大利王国；在此期间，法学家大学与艺术家大学之间的区分逐渐消失。

• The university became one of the universities of the Kingdom of Italy in 1873 and has since been one of the country's most prestigious institutions for contributions to scientific and scholarly research.该校于 1873 年成为意大利王国的大学之一，此后凭借对科学与学术研究的贡献一直位居该国最负盛名的高校之列。

• From the late nineteenth century the university expanded slowly, creating new faculties in engineering in 1876, political science in 1924 and pharmacy in 1933.自 19 世纪末起该校缓慢扩张，先后于 1876 年设立工程学院、1924 年设政治学院、1933 年设药学院。

• The political interference and Race Laws of the Fascist period, the devastation of the Second World War and, a few decades later, the student protests of 1968 to 1969 had a detrimental effect on the university's development, though its teaching tradition continued uninterrupted.法西斯时期的政治干预与种族法、第二次世界大战的破坏，以及几十年后 1968 至 1969 年的学生抗议，都对学校发展造成不利影响，但其教学传统始终未断。

• On 9 September 1943, at the opening ceremony of the academic year, the rector urged students to resist fascism and was afterwards forced to flee to Switzerland, and for its resistance and struggle the Italian Republic awarded the university the Gold Medal of Military Valour, the only university ever to receive it.1943 年 9 月 9 日开学典礼上，校长呼吁学生反抗法西斯，此后被迫流亡瑞士；为表彰该校对法西斯与纳粹主义的抵抗与斗争，意大利共和国授予其金质勇气勋章，它是唯一获此勋章的大学。

• To relieve overcrowded facilities the university redeployed across the Veneto as a whole, setting up the Institute of Management Engineering at Vicenza in 1990, resuming summer courses at Brixen and opening the Agripolis centre at Legnaro for agricultural science and veterinary medicine in 1995, with further sites at Rovigo, Treviso, Feltre, Castelfranco Veneto, Conegliano, Chioggia and Asiago.为缓解设施拥挤，该校在整个威尼托地区重新布局：1990 年在维琴察设立管理工程研究所，恢复布里克森的暑期课程，1995 年在莱尼亚罗开办阿格里波利斯中心以安置农业科学与兽医学，并在罗维戈、特雷维索、费尔特雷、卡斯泰尔弗兰科威尼托、科内利亚诺、基奥贾与阿夏戈设有其他办学点。

• Recent changes in state legislation opened the way to greater autonomy for Italian universities, and in 1995 Padua adopted a new Statute that gave it greater independence.近年国家立法的变化为意大利高校的更大自主权开辟道路，1995 年帕多瓦大学通过新校章，获得更大的独立地位。
