Peter Lombard completes the Sentences

1150

A Parisian master of theology, using Abelard's dialectical method but cautiously, assembled four books of theological opinions on every major question of the Christian faith. The Sentences would become the standard textbook every master was required to comment on for the next four centuries. Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, and Duns Scotus all wrote commentaries on the Sentences as the first step in their own theological careers.
