Document Details : Title: Accessus ad Lombardum Subtitle: The Secular and the Sacred in Medieval Commentaries on the Sentences Author(s): LIVESEY, Steven J. Journal: Recherches de Théologie et Philosophie Médiévales Volume: 72 Issue: 1 Date: 2005 Pages: 153-174 DOI: 10.2143/RTPM.72.1.583230 Abstract : From the early thirteenth century, when Alexander of Hales began to use his lectures on Peter Lombard’s Sentences as a vehicle that provided a comprehensive treatment of theological doctrine to his Parisian students, commentaries on the Sentences began a gradual metamorphosis that transformed their use within the theological faculty. By the 1320s, commentaries on the Sentences had ceased to provide a comprehensive treatment of all four books, at the same time they were becoming ever longer. Part of the transformation included an increasing injection of philosophical content into the commentaries, which in turn altered both the theological enterprise and the philosophical foundation on which it rested. This paper provides a preliminary picture of this transformation by looking at some of the issues that excited late-medieval lecturers on the Sentences. |
