With the privilege “Authentica ‘Habita'” promulgated in Roncaglia in 1158, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa pronounced himself in favour of the university community and recognised their right to move freely and safely to reach their studies, subjecting them to direct imperial protection and preventing reprisals; finally, jurisdiction over the students was entrusted to their respective teachers and, for those of ecclesiastical status, to the local bishop.

In a canon law text, an anonymous Sicilian student at the University of Padua in 1427, perhaps as a reminder, noted down the fees he had to pay in order to take exams. In 1956 Jacques Le Goff published an essay on this document focusing on the costs of the university in the 15th century and the maintenance of teachers.
