SCHOOLMAN
School"man`, n.; pl. Schoolmen (.
Definition: One versed in the niceties of academical disputation or of
school divinity.
Note: The schoolmen were philosophers and divines of the Middle Ages,
esp. from the 11th century to the Reformation, who spent much time on
points of nice and abstract speculation. They were so called because
they taught in the mediæval universities and schools of divinity.
