Interpretation of Scripture

"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 scriptual exegesis. This volume contains translations of the exegetical theories elaborated in Hugh of St. Victor's (d. 1141) Didascalicon, On Sacred Scripture and its Authors, The Diligent Examiner, and On the Sacraments (prologues); Andrew of St. Victor's (d. 1175) prologues to select commentaries; Richard of St. Victor's (d. 1173) Book of Notes and Apocalypse commentary; Godfrey of St. Victor's Fountain of Philosophy; Robert of Melun's Sentences; and the anonymous Speculum on the Mysteries of the Church. -- Book jacket.
