Retail price: EUR 120,00 Thanks to the pathbreaking work of Beryl Smalley more than a half century ago, today we recognize the central place of the so-called School of Saint Victor in the history of biblical exegesis. By the mid-twelfth century, the abbey had gained a reputation for solid Christian teaching, with an emphasis on biblical studies and history. This volume contains commentaries and examples of biblical exegesis by Hugh and Andrew of Saint Victor, Sermons by Richard of Saint Victor and Maurice of Sully, the Quaestiones in divina pagina by Robert of Melun, Richard's invective against judaizers, De Emmanuele, and a poetic paraphrase of Ruth by Leontius of Saint Victor, encompassing the broad range of biblical exegetical practice at the abbey. The editors of this volume are Frans van Liere (PhD, Groningen; Dept. of History, Calvin College), editor of Andrew of St Victor's commentaries on Samuel and Kings (1996; ET 2010) and on the Twelve Prophets (2007, with Mark Zier) (Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaevalis), and author of An Introduction to the Medieval Bible; and Franklin T. Harkins (PhD, Notre Dame; Boston College), author of Reading and the Work of Restoration: History and Scripture in the Theology of Hugh of St Victor (2009).
