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. About the Series: The importance of the "school" of St. Victor in the development of 12th- and 13th-century theology has long been recognized, but there have been few English translations of Hugh of St. Victor and his successors, whose works have had great influence on later medieval thinkers and retain enduring value for contemporary theology. Ten volumes are planned.
