The History and Significance of Preceptories

Preceptory is a noun that refers to a place where preceptors or teachers reside and teach. It can also refer to a building or institution where a particular subject or discipline is taught.

For example, a preceptory of mathematics might be a building where math teachers live and work, or a preceptory of law might be a law school. The term is often used in historical contexts to describe medieval universities or monasteries where scholars lived and studied.

In modern times, the term "preceptory" is not commonly used, and more specific terms like "dormitory," "residence hall," or "teaching hospital" are used instead to describe places where teachers or students live and learn.
