By the early 13th century, the Île de la Cité Notre-Dame cathedral school had many famous teachers, and the controversial teachings of some of these led to the creation of a separate Left-Bank Sainte-Genevieve University that would become the centre of Paris's scholastic Latin Quarter best represented by the Sorbonne university.
Do ranog 13. stoljeća, škola katedrale Notre-Dame imala je mnoge čuvene učitelje, ali kontroverzna učenja nekih od njih dovela su do stvaranja odvojenog univerziteta Sainte-Genevieve na lijevoj obali, koji je postao središte pariške školske latinske četvrti, napoznatije po univerzitetu Sorbonne.
