A walk down the High Street of Oxford University, where the footsteps of scholars and thinkers have echoed through the centuries. In this historic scene from 1809-1810, students stroll past ancient buildings, lost in thought and debate. Among the great minds that once walked these hallowed halls was Jean de Gerson, a French theologian, poet, and university professor. His wisdom and influence, like the enduring architecture of Oxford, continue to shape the academic world over 600 years later. #OxfordUniversity #JeanDeGerson #UniversityLife #AcademicTradition #HistoricCampus #Education #IntellectualHeritage
