abstract = {Research into the oral and literary traditions of scholastic education usually emphasizes
the significance of the word in late medieval pedagogy. This paper suggests that coded
hand signals provided early university scholars with an important non-verbal means of
communication too. Using illustrations of classroom scenes from early university manuscripts,
this paper analyzes the artistic conventions for representing gestures that these images
embody. By building up a typology of these gesticulations, it demonstrates that the
producers of these images and their audience shared a perception of scholastic education
that embraced a sophisticated understanding of the activities associated with university
education.},
