Situated on the bank of the Seine, the Victorines followed the rule
of St Augustine, upholding the monastic ideal of a contemplative
life dedicated to study. It was here, in the second half of the
twelfth century, that Richard of St Victor wrote one of the most
significant medieval works on the dogma of the Trinity, De
Trinitate, printed here in English for the first time. Studies of
Richard's theology are few in number, yet his model of the central
- and arguably most contentious - doctrine of Christianity was
influential up until the end of the sixteenth century and widely
sought after by religious houses. Following Augustine's own
treatise on the trinity, 'De Trinitate' explores the mediating
concepts on which to base faith, founded on personal experience.
Comprising six books, each of twenty-five chapters, Richard
develops a model to account for the three components of the
Trinity, using a typical blend of reason and spirituality Angelici
provides a translation faithful to the original intent and style of
the medieval author, alongside rich commentary. This edition
affords fascinating insight into the Augustinian-Anselmian position
of the Victorines and the dogmatics of one of the most important
medieval theologians. Richard of St Victor was one of the most
important spiritual writers of the twelfth century and, together
with Adam of St Victor, represents the second generation of
Victorine spirituality. He joined the abbey of St Victor at Paris
in the early 1150s and held the position of prior from 1162 until
his death in 1173. Apart from De Trinitate, his major works are 'De
XII patriarchis' and 'De arca mystica'. Ruben Angelici is a
Graduate of the University of Manchester. He holds degrees and
expertise in theology, philosophy, biology, and music. He has been
a sessional lecturer in dogmatic and historical theology at
Nazarene Theological College, University of Manchester.
