What did the ten commandments have to teach? Using the commentaries
of a group of scholars from c. 1150-1350, such as Peter Lombard,
Robert Grosseteste, and Bonaventure, along with confessors'
manuals, mystery plays and sermon material, this book investigates
the place of the Decalogue in medieval thought. Beginning with the
overarching themes of law and number, it moves to consider what
sort of God is revealed in the commandments of the first stone
tablet, and uncovers the structure that lay behind the precepts
dealing with one's neighbour. Interpreting the commandments allows
us to look at issues of method and individuality in the medieval
schools, and ask whether answers intended for the classroom could
make an impression on the wider world.
