Note 130 — Chapter II · THE COLLEGES
Reading edition
Cf. Peterhouse p. 56. The Christian church evolved in Rome no doubt originated in the domestic aula, the basilica, of a great private house, and was surrounded by those dwelling-rooms which constituted the first titulus or domus ecclesiae. So at Cambridge we have a domus collegii, and domus vel aula scholarium sancti Michaelis or Clarae.
