In 1533, the Jurade of Bordeaux (roughly equivalent to the

The College of Guienne had
Protestant Reformation.[2]
There, in 1539, Gouveia welcomed George Buchanan, appointing him professor of Latin. Gouveia's stay at the College de Guyenne lasted until 1547, attracting students like Michel de Montaigne, who later in his Essays described Gouveia as " ...behind comparison the greatest principal in France."[4] The fame of the teaching -mainly grammar, classical literature, history and philosophy - was such that, in 1552, Italian scholar and physician Julius Caesar Scaliger sent his sons to the college, including Joseph Justus Scaliger.
The regulations of the Collège de Guyenne were published by
Elie Vinet in 1583 under the title Schola Aquitanica.[2]
