HERE FOR MEDICINE, THERE FOR DELIGHT: THE ECCLESIAL MYSTERIES OF THE VICTORINE SPECULUM Samuel Nelson Keyes A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the department of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Boston College Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences Graduate School May 2018 © Copyright 2018 Samuel Nelson Keyes ii HERE FOR MEDICINE, THERE FOR DELIGHT: THE ECCLESIAL MYSTERIES OF THE VICTORINE SPECULUM Samuel Nelson Keyes Advisor: Boyd Taylor Coolman ABSTRACT The anonymous Speculum de mysteriis ecclesiae from the 12th century abbey of St. Victor has often been associated with the tradition of medieval liturgical commentaries, but this dissertation proposes reading it primarily as a general treatise on the spiritual life. Its unique Victorine emphasis on the combination of intellect and affect suggests a particular theology of the sign: the real ontological status of the sign relying not on Dionysian hierarchy but on ecclesial contemplation. Through the newly developed sacramental understanding of res et sacramentum, the Speculum suggests that signs have enduring value as signs that goes beyond their function as signifiers. The attainment of the signified, in other words, is only part of their gift. Their “sweetness” is found in an appreciation of their mode of signification — a signification that, the Speculum suggests, endures somehow even in heaven as a non-necessary gracious source of delight. That is, external and visible things in the Church have value not merely because they point us to particular invisible things (what the signs “mean”) but because they teach us the Church’s economy of grace. The Church, then, and her sacramental economy, are central not just to the practical life of individual salvation, but to the meaningfulness of all creation. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Abbreviations .............................................................................................................. viii PART 1.

I am also indebted to the various friends, colleagues, and mentors who have encouraged me to continue in this work through one complication after another.

Psalms referenced conform to the Vulgate numbering. Liturgical references, unless otherwise noted, refer to chants, collects, and other texts of Roman Rite in the codified form promulgated by Trent (1570). English translations of Office texts come from The Anglican Breviary (Long Island: Frank Gavin, 1955), itself an English translation of the Tridentine office. Additional medieval examples of the same texts can be found, with numerous manuscript references and images, in the online chant database, Cantus: cantus.uwaterloo.ca. viii PART 1 MAPPING THE GROUND: THEMES, CONTEXT, AND GENRE INTRODUCTION “The sacred liturgy does not exhaust the entire activity of the Church”: it must be preceded by evangelization, faith, and conversion. It can then produce its fruits in the lives of the faithful: new life in the Spirit, involvement in the mission of the Church, and service to her unity.1 The Catechism is careful to qualify its assertion of the liturgy’s central fruitfulness in the life of the Church with a reminder of its place in the whole Christian life. The liturgy’s fecundity — its ability to produce spiritual fruit — is not a given. It is not automatic or magical. If we can apply this principle to all the Church’s gifts, we will reach the main argument of this dissertation: that the Victorine Speculum ecclesiae gives a roadmap, so to speak, for utilizing the Church’s mysterious gifts to the end of personal and ecclesial growth, maturity, and spiritual delight. The Church’s mysteries, including not just her sacraments but her entire economy of signs, can produce fruit when we learn to appreciate them for what they are and how they are what they are. Investigation of these mysteries is not a tangential distraction from Christian discipleship but constitutes, rather, one of the primary means of spiritual growth. The Speculum text itself The Speculum de mysteriis ecclesiae, a brief nine-chapter treatise of roughly nineteen thousand words, if it is known at all, is familiar to theologians, liturgists, and 1 The Catechism of the Catholic Church (Vatican: Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2012), 1072, quoting Vatican II, Sacrosanctum concilium, 9. 1 historians by virtue of its inclusion among the works of Hugh of St. Victor in Jacques- Paul Migne’s Patrologia Latina.2 Apart from some obvious typographical and reference errors, Migne’s text seems basically reliable. I have provided a list of known manuscripts in the bibliography below, though it remains beyond the scope of this work to attempt any detailed comparison. The book’s short prologue is worth quoting in full: Your Love invited me to treat the ecclesiastical sacraments and explain to you their mystical sweetness. But since, by right of custom, I would throw back, more willingly because more easily and more boldly, opinions logical rather than theological, I began to hesitate — whether you should be opposed, or whether rather I preferred to write. Soon, recalling truly that every good thing shared begins to shine more beautifully when it is shared, I turned to what is to be written with a pen, having invoked that same help who opens and no one shuts, who closes and no one opens (Rev. 3:7).3 And so the desired book, which, because in it one may examine what each thing mystically represents in the Church, it pleases me to call “Mirror of the Church,” flowing with interior nectar just as honey of the honeycomb, I have handed over4 to your intelligence.5 Despite the warm tone towards the work’s commissioner (vestra dilectio), we do not have any further indication in the text as to who this anonymous sponsor is. The tone is, all the same, indicative of the book’s style and content. The author may claim to be a logician rather than a theologian, but he comes across in the prologue as more of a pastor — a 2 (Pseudo-)Hugh of St. Victor.

Cum autem libentius, quia facilius et audentius, logicas quam theologicas, jure consuetudinis, revolvam sententias: dubitare coepi, an contradicere, an potius scribere mallem. Mox vero illud recolens, quod omne bonum communicatum pulchrius elucescit, cum communicatur, consequenter stylum ad scribendum converti, ejus invocato auxilio, qui aperit et nemo claudit, claudit et nemo aperit (Apoc. III). Desideratum itaque libellum interno fluentem nectare, velut favum mellis, vestrae propinavi intelligentiae, quem quia in eo speculari licet quid mystice repraesentent singula in Ecclesia, Speculum Ecclesiae inscribi placuit.” 2 patient, sympathetic teacher who hopes that his words will be edifying

  • The Well-Trained Theologian

    The Well-Trained Theologian

    THE WELL-TRAINED THEOLOGIAN essential texts for retrieving classical Christian theology part 1, patristic and medieval Matthew Barrett Credo 2020 Over the last several decades, evangelicalism’s lack of roots has become conspicuous. Many years ago, I experienced this firsthand as a university student and eventually as a seminary student. Books from the past were segregated to classes in church history, while classes on hermeneutics and biblical exegesis carried on as if no one had exegeted scripture prior to the Enlightenment. Sometimes systematics suffered from the same literary amnesia. When I first entered the PhD system, eager to continue my theological quest, I was given a long list of books to read just like every other student. Looking back, I now see what I could not see at the time: out of eight pages of bibliography, you could count on one hand the books that predated the modern era. I have taught at Christian colleges and seminaries on both sides of the Atlantic for a decade now and I can say, in all honesty, not much has changed. As students begin courses and prepare for seminars, as pastors are trained for the pulpit, they are not required to engage the wisdom of the ancient past firsthand or what many have labelled classical Christianity. Such chronological snobbery, as C. S. Lewis called it, is pervasive. The consequences of such a lopsided diet are now starting to unveil themselves. Recent controversy over the Trinity, for example, has manifested our ignorance of doctrines like eternal generation, a doctrine not only basic to biblical interpretation and Christian orthodoxy for almost two centuries, but a doctrine fundamental to the church’s Christian identity.

    Art History ISSN 0141-6790 Vol. 22 No. 1 March 1999 pp. 3-55 In the Beginning: Theories and images of creation in Northern Europe in the twelfth century Conrad Rudolph 'Logic has made me hated by the world!' So Peter Abelard thought and wrote to his former lover, the brilliant Heloise, in probably his last letter to her before his death in 1142, after having been virtually driven from Paris by Bernard of Clairvaux, the austere Cistercian mystic and perhaps the most powerful ecclesiastical politician of Western Europe.1 Characteristically for Abelard in matters of self-conception, he was exaggerating. Logic had made him hated not by the world but by only a portion of it. While this was certainly an influential portion and one that had almost succeeded in destroying him, it could never do so entirely. In fact, logic had made Abelard 'the Socrates of the Gauls, the great Plato of the West, our Aristotle ... the prince of scholars'2- and this, this great fame and the almost unprecedented influence that accompanied it, was as much the problem as logic was. In a word, Abelard had been caught up in the politics of theology. The time was one of great theological inquiry, challenging, as it did, the very authority of divine revelation on the most fundamental level, and at a moment when both interest in secular learning and the number of students were dramatically increasing - all factors that can hardly be over-emphasized. But for certain elements within the Church, more still was at stake. And this was nothing less than a perceived assault on one of the basic underpinnings of the complex relationship between religion, theology, society and political power.

  • The Weight of Comparing in Medieval England

    The Weight of Comparing in Medieval England

    The Weight of Comparing in Medieval England David Gary Shaw Abstract1 How important and common were the practices of comparing in medieval England (1150- 1500)? Focusing on activities that tended to have a pragmatic rather than purely logical in- tention, this chapter first considers medieval comparing on technical matters such as weigh- ing and measuring for the market and for agricultural efficiency. Then, however, we consider as well the more controversial comparing of humans by examining its place in taxing and ranking people; in assessing religious diversity; and even discerning the moralizing uses of comparing in literature and art. As it turns out, comparing could be perilous when humans were the subjects. Introduction It is possible that comparison might be everywhere in history, but we might also suppose that comparing might matter less in some moments and places than oth- ers. Especially given the sense that there is something distinctive and powerful about comparison in contemporary life, it is important to try to get a sense for the range, variety, and importance of modes of comparison in other times and places. In this chapter, I inquire into the place and weight of comparative thinking in Eng- land in the later medieval period. It is not an easy task, because the definition of the comparative and of com- parative practices is hardly settled. There is probably some amount of comparative activity in all European societies and moments, but we can expect that the compo- sition of the comparative practices will vary and maybe vary significantly; and that will raise problems for making any longer-term narratives.

    Hugh of St. Victor on “Jesus Wept”: Compassion As Ideal Humanitas

    Theological Studies 69 (2008) HUGH OF ST. VICTOR ON “JESUS WEPT”: COMPASSION AS IDEAL HUMANITAS BOYD TAYLOR COOLMAN In his brief, On the Four Wills in Christ, Hugh of St. Victor (d. 1141) offers a carefully nuanced depiction of Jesus’ human nature that showcases his human capacity for compassion. Hugh is keen, however, not only to underscore Jesus’ human capacity for com- passion but also to identify such fellow-feeling as the signature at- tribute of ideal human nature. Accordingly, one finds throughout the Victorine’s corpus that, on this christological basis, Hugh advo- cates an ethic of compassion for human beings generally. OWARD THE END OF THE ELEVENTH CENTURY, interest in the humanity T of Jesus surged markedly throughout Europe. Poets, preachers, art- ists, and monks, in places such as London, Paris, and Rome, gave expres- sion to this apparently deep and widespread shift in religious feeling. Re- flecting and extending this development in the twelfth century, theologians as diverse as Anselm of Canterbury and Bernard of Clairvaux placed Christ’s humanity at the center of their theological reflection and spiritual devotion, a move later medieval generations would emulate.1 The manifold conceptions of Jesus’ humanity produced in what has been called “the BOYD TAYLOR COOLMAN holds a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and is assistant professor of theology at Boston College. His special interest in 12th- and 13th-century theology is reflected in his recent publications: “The Salvific Affec- tivity of Christ in Alexander of Hales,” Thomist 71 (2007); and “Hugh of St Victor,” in The Sermon on the Mount through the Centuries, ed.

The Mechanical Arts and Poiesis in the Philosophy and Literature of the Twelfth-Century Schools Anya Burgon The ‘mechanical arts’ or artes mechanicae were first named as a part of Philosophy in Hugh of Saint-Victor’s Didascalicon (1120s). They were identified as seven arts (fabric making, armament, commerce, agriculture, hunting, medicine, and theatrics), and positioned as a parallel to the seven liberal arts. Their inclusion in the Didascalicon has been taken by previous historians to signal a new interest in science and engineering, an effort to ‘give intellectual status to technology for the first time’.
