You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.202.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:04, 17 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Edifici de La Nau des de la Plaça del Patriarca València.JPG|thumb|The University of Valencia's Historic Building]]

The '''University of Valencia''' (((lang-ca-valencia|Universitat de València)) ((IPA-ca|univeɾsiˈtad<!--assimilation to [d]--> de vaˈlensi.a|))), shortened to '''UV''', is a [[public university|public]] [[research university]] located in the city of [[Valencia, Spain|Valencia]], [[Spain]]. It is one of the [[List of oldest universities in continuous operation|oldest surviving universities]] in Spain, and the oldest in the [[Valencian Community]]. It is regarded as one of Spain's leading academic institutions.

The university was founded in 1499, and currently has around 55,000 students. Most of the courses are given through the medium of [[Spanish language|Spanish]], but the university has promised to increase the number of courses available in [[Catalan language|Valencian]]. Moreover, in some degrees part of the teaching is in English.

It is located in the Mediterranean Spanish baseline, in the city of [[Valencia, Spain|Valencia]] which is the capital and most populous city of the [[Valencian Community|autonomous community of Valencia]] and the third largest city in Spain, with a population of 829,705 in 2014. One of its campuses is located in the metropolitan area of Valencia, in the municipalities of [[Burjassot]] and [[Paterna]].

The current chancellor is María Vicenta Mestre Escrivá.

==History==
At the request of [[James I the Conqueror]], [[Pope Innocent IV]] in 1246 authorized (by a [[papal bull|Bull]]) the establishment of ''estudis generals'' in Valencia. The University Statutes were passed by the municipal magistrates of Valencia on April 30, 1499; this is considered to be the 'founding' of the university. In 1501, Pope [[Alexander VI]] signed the bill of approval and one year later [[Ferdinand II the Catholic]] proclaimed the Royal Mandatory Concession.

Its foundation was due to the zeal of St. [[Vincent Ferrer]] and to the donation of a building by [[Mosen Pedro Vilaragut]]. Only very meagre accounts have been preserved of the practical workings of the university. From the time of its foundation the courses included [[Latin]], [[Greek language|Greek]], [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], [[Arabic language|Arabic]], [[philosophy]], [[mathematics]], and [[physics]], [[theology]], [[Canon law (Catholic Church)|Canon law]], and [[medicine]].

The closing years of the seventeenth, and the whole of the eighteenth century, witnessed the most prosperous era of the university, Greek, Latin, mathematics, and medicine being specially cultivated. Among the names of illustrious students that of [[Tosca]], [[Evangelista Torricelli]]'s friend, noted physicist and author of important mathematical works, stands out prominently. Escolano says that it was the leading university in mathematics, the humanities, philosophy, and medicine. Large anatomical drawings were made by the students. Valencia was the first university of Spain to found a course for the study of herbs. Many of the Valencian graduates of medicine became famous. [[Pedro Ximeno]] discovered the third small bone of the ear. He was professor at [[University of Alcalá|Alcalá]] and had for a pupil the celebrated [[Francisco Vallés|Vallés]]. [[Luis Collado]], professor of botany, made some valuable discoveries and carried on exhaustive studies of the plants of the Levant; [[Vicente Alfonso Lorente]] wrote works on botany; and the famous botanist [[Antonio José Cavanilles|Cavanilles]] was also a student of this university.

In the seventeenth century, the university divided into two factions, the [[Thomism|Thomists]] and the anti-Thomists. The discussions were heated and aroused partisan feelings throughout the entire Kingdom of Valencia. The university possessed a library of 27,000 volumes which was destroyed by the soldiers under the command of General Suchet. Among the most noted professors of the university was D. [[Francisco Pérez Bayer]], a man of wide culture and great influence in the reign of [[Charles III of Spain]]. Around the university several colleges for poor students sprang up: the first was founded by St. [[Thomas of Villanova]] in 1561 and then followed those founded by [[Doña Angela Alonsar]], and [[Mosen Pedro Martín]]. The most famous, called Corpus Christi, was founded by Blessed [[Juan de Ribera]]; [[Philip II of Spain|Philip II]] founded that of San Jorge; and [[Melchor de Villena]] founded the last in 1643. During the [[Spanish Civil War]], in 1938, a fire badly damaged the library.<ref name="lostmemoryunesco">[http://www.unesco.org/webworld/mdm/administ/pdf/LOSTMEMO.PDF LOST MEMORY – LIBRARIES AND ARCHIVES DESTROYED IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY] (((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120905105742/http://www.unesco.org/webworld/mdm/administ/pdf/LOSTMEMO.PDF |date=September 5, 2012 )))</ref>

Nowadays, it is a modern European public university open to almost every branch of teaching, research and learning in humanities, basic sciences and technology, health sciences, social sciences, and education.
