In 1469 he matriculated in the University of Louvain. Shortly afterwards, he was a librarian to the Sorbonne, during which time founded a lodging house for poor students, run on semi-monastic lines. In 1490, he bought a small house in Paris and established a boarding school, on the model of his own school in Gouda. Like all the schools run by the Brethern emphasis was placed on the humanistic languages, Christian mystical writing and an extremely ascetic life-style (of which Erasmus complained).
