Publisher Description:
The articles in this volume fall into two main groups, the one dealing with secular learning and especially grammar and logic, the other with biblical scholarship, while the final articles look at the work of particular scholars. Margaret Gibson, however, would see them all as closely interrelated. Scholars in the Latin West, from the end of Antiquity right through the 12th century, were united in the belief that all knowledge, if true, was compatible and that sapientia was one and coherent. In the same way, she would hold, it is impossible to study only the 'artes' given their implication for Bible, nor only Bible, when every commentator thought within the context of the 'artes'. Les articles contenus dans ce volume se divisent en deux cat gories principales: la premi re traitant du savoir s culaire et, plus particuli rement, de la grammaire et de la logique; la seconde s'attachant au savoir biblique avec, pour finir, un nombre d'articles examinant l'oeuvre de certains rudits. Margaret Gibson consid re toutes ces tudes comme tant interd pendantes. Les rudits de l'Occident latin, de la fin de l'Antiquit celle du 12e si cle, taient unis dans la conviction que toutes connaissances v ridiques taient compatibles entre elles et que la sapience formait un tout coh rent. Par l m ame, l'auteur maintient qu'il est impossible de s'adonner uniquement l' tude des artes, tant donn e leur implication pour la Bible, ou m ame l' tude de cette derni re, alors que la pens e de chacun des commentateurs tait formul e dans le contexte de artes.
