In the southern shadow of the Italian Alps, Thomas Gallus (d. 1246), or Thomas of St. Victor, the last of the great medieval Victorine theologians, spent his last twenty-five years commenting on the mysterious collection of late antique writings known today as the Dionysian Corpus. The result was a series of extensive commentaries in which Gallus articulates a distinctive theological vision—an account of the nature of God, the nature of the human soul, and the mystical relation between them, as profound as it was influential. Today, Gallus is regarded as the influential architect of a medieval “affective interpretation” of the Dionysian Corpus, which privileged love over knowledge in the soul’s final encounter with God, and which interpreted Dionysius’ account of divine–human union accordingly. This affective priority has also led some to read him as anti-intellectual, as opposed to rigorous intellectual speculation, and as excluding knowledge from the soul’s ultimate union with God. But Gallus also derives a unique account of the soul from Dionysius, a Dionysian anthropology through which he conceives of a complex, dynamic, and ultimately reciprocal relationship between knowing and loving God, wherein love not only ecstatically exceeds knowledge, but also subsumes it, “affectivizes” it, while at the same time, such affective experience spawns and fecundates deeper intellectual insight and understanding. In the end, through both knowledge and love, the soul spirals eternally into God.

Gathering the fruits of a recent renaissance in scholarship, this volume will serve an important function for readers interested in Victorine studies. The Victorines were scholars and teachers of philosophy, liberal arts, sacred scripture, music, and contemplation at the Abbey of Saint-Victor in Paris. This collection focuses on the three greatest Victorines: Hugh (d. 1141), who established the direction of the school; Richard (d. 1173), who developed Victorine contemplation; and Thomas Gallus (d. 1246), who culminated Victorine contemplative thought and transmitted it to other schools, especially the Franciscans. They offer an innovative revival of the Christian spiritual and intellectual tradition for their reforming pastoral mission in their urban setting and for the Church. Their contemporaries saw the Victorines as beacons of spiritual love and intellectual richness. Later reformers and thinkers held their writings as touchstones of contemplative love, including, for example, Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, Jean Gerson, Thomas à Kempis, the Devotio Moderna, and many others. The writings of the Victorines found broad appeal among later medieval readers, as well as praise among early modern reformers, Protestant and Catholic alike. In recent decades, the Victorines have returned to scholarly attention and renewed appreciation. Scholarly studies, critical editions, and translation projects reveal the treasures of Victorine thought and spirituality. This volume showcases the findings of recent research and scholarly advances in Victorine studies, offering new readers a status quaestionis of the field. It also features new research by eminent experts in Victorine thought that points out promising directions for future research, thus offering important new findings for established specialists.
