From Wisdom to Science : A Witness of the Theological Studies in Paris in the 1240s

This chapter considers a number of "introitus" to Peter Lombard's Sentences, which were delivered as lectures in the 1240s. The introitus offer an opportunity to track the deployment of the Sentences in theological training, in particular showing how Lombard's systematic efforts were further systematised in the hands of his interpreters. In particular, the introitus reveal theorizing on the nature of theological knowledge, which posits the discipline as one of wisdom and science.
