About this Book
Read more about The Abbey and Order of St. Victor in the Twelfth Century
Starting from the theory of scriptural interpretation elaborated by Hugh of
St. Victor, the Augustinian Canons of twelfth-century St. Victor in Paris
were leading theorists and practitioners of scriptural exegesis. This volume
contains complete translations of the exegetical theories elaborated in Hugh
of St. Victor’s (d. 1141) Didascalicon, On Sacred Scripture and its
Authors, and The Diligent Examiner as well as Godfrey of St. Victor’s
Fountain of Philosophy. It has excerpts from Hugh’s On the Sacraments,
Andrew of St. Victor’s (d. 1175) commentaries, Richard of St. Victor’s
(d. 1173) Book of Notes and Apocalypse commentary, Robert of Melun’s
Sentences, and the anonymous Speculum on the Mysteries of the Church.
Some Reviews:
The surfeit of translations of patristic and medieval commentaries on the
Bible is changing not only how the Bible is interpreted today but also how
theologians use the Bible. Interpretation of Scripture offers a judicious
selection of writings from sophisticated thinkers who addressed the hermeneutics
of biblical interpretation. This rich and substantive volume puts to flight
the clichés about medieval exegesis and gives biblical scholars as
well as theologians much to ponder.

This volume will guide
even seasoned scholars in the ongoing analysis of the Victorine legacy. The
contributors include known experts in Victorine studies such as Hugh Feiss,
OSB, and Franklin Harkins and Frans van Liere are among the most diligent
and best of the new generation of Victorine scholars.
