Brill Mediaeval Commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard: Current Research, Volume 2

Product Description This volume studies how the tradition of the Sentences developed from the twelfth century up to Martin Luther. Its twelve chapters fill major lacunae in current research on the standard textbook of medieval theology. From the Back Cover Continuing a project begun in 2002, with the publication of volume 1 of "Mediaeval Commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard," this volume fills some major lacunae in current research on the standard textbook of medieval theology. Twelve chapters study the tradition of the "Sentences," from the first glosses of the twelfth century through Martin Luther s marginal notes. The questions addressed in these chapters throw light on the history of the "Sentences" literature as a whole, focusing on changes in literary structure and methodology as much as on matters of textual transmission and doctrinal content. The conclusion synthesizes the individual contributions, succintly presenting the current state of our knowledge of the main structures that characterize the tradition of the "Sentences."
