"Pearl of Powerful Learning" The Univeristy of Cracow in the Fifteenth Century
by Paul W. Knoll
(Education and Society in the Middle Ages and Renaissance)
The first fully developed history of the University of Cracow in this period in over a century, A Pearl of Powerful Learning. The University of Cracow in the Fifteenth Century places the school in the context of late medieval universities, traces the process of its foundation, analyzes its institutional growth, its setting in the Polish royal capital, its role in national life, and provides a social and geographical profile of students and faculty. The book includes extended treatment of the content of intellectual life and accomplishments of the school with reference to the works of its most important scholars in the medieval arts curriculum, medicine, law, and theology. The emergence of early Renaissance humanist interests at the university is also discussed."

I have his earlier book "The Rise of the Polish Monarchy. Piast Poland in East Central Europe 1320-1370" and would be interested in this one if I wasn't inundated with research closer to home (Slovakia) at this time. Then again, the price of the book is a bit steep for casual reading.
The Piast dynasty was the first historical ruling dynasty of Poland. The first documented Polish monarch was Prince Mieszko I (c. 930–992). The Piasts' royal rule in Poland ended in 1370 with the death of king Casimir III the Great.
