From Knowledge to Beatitude is a collection of original essays on
the intersection between Christian theology and spiritual life
primarily in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, especially in
the Parisian School of St. Victor, which honors the influential
work of Grover A. Zinn, Jr. Written by distinguished scholars from
various fields of medieval studies, these essays range from the
study of the exegetical school of twelfth-century St. Victor and
medieval glossed Bibles to the medieval cultural reception of women
visionaries, preachers, and crusaders. Although focused on St.
Victor, they provide analyses of Christian themes up to the modern
period. A common thread is Zinn's careful attention to the
connections between medieval spirituality and biblical studies, the
origin of these ideas, and their lasting influence in Christian
culture. The essays take us from Hugh of St. Victor's
foundation-material culture-to the "beatitude" of a wider
understanding of Victorine culture and its lasting legacy. This
volume is a fitting tribute to a generous scholar, teacher, and
mentor. It will appeal to historians, scholars of religion and
theology, and art historians. Contributors: Raymond Clemens,
Catherine Delano-Smith, Walter Cahn, William Clark, Thomas Waldman,
Franklin T. Harkins, Lesley Smith, Hugh Feiss, Boyd Taylor Coolman,
Dale M. Coulter, Marcia L. Colish, Dominique Poirel, Barbara
Newman, Rachel Fulton Brown, Jeremy Adams, Frans van Liere, E. Ann
