See also:PETER LOMBARD (c. 11oo-c. 116o)
, See also:bishop of See also:Paris, better known as Magister sententiarum, the son of obscure parents, was See also:born about the beginning of the 12th See also:century, at See also:Novara (then reckoned as belonging to See also:Lombardy)
.
After receiving his See also:education at See also:Bologna, he removed to See also:France, bearing a recommendation to See also:Bernard of See also:Clairvaux, who first placed him under Lotolf at See also:Reims, and afterwards sent him to Paris with letters to Gilduin, the See also: Compared with that See also:book they are tame . See also:Gratian's See also:Concordia discordantium canonum, as he called his Decretum, was another strong influence, Lombard doing in a sense for See also:theology what Gratian did for the See also:canon See also:law . The influence of See also:Hugh of St Victor is also marked . The relation to the " sentences " of a Gandulph of Bologna (still unpublished) has not been established . The most important thing in the book was its See also:crystallization of the See also:doctrine concerning the sacramental See also:system, by the definite assertion of the doctrine of the seven sacraments, and the See also:acceptance of a See also:definition of See also:sacrament, not merely as "a sign of a sacred thing," but as itself " capable of conveying the See also:grace of which it is the sign." The sentences soon attained immense popularity, ultimately becoming the See also:text-book in almost every theological school, and giving rise to endless commentaries, over 18o of these being written in See also:England . In 1300 the theological professorsof Paris agreed in the rejection of sixteen propositions taken from Lombard, but their decision was far from obtaining universal currency . Besides the Sententiae, Lombard wrote numerous commentaries (e.g. on the See also:Psalms, See also:Canticles, See also:Job, the See also:Gospel See also:Harmony, and the Pauline Epistles), sermons and letters, which still exist in MS . The Glossae seu commentarius in psalmos Davidis, were first published at Paris in 1533 . Lombard's collected See also:works have been published in J . P . See also:Migne's Patrologie latine, Tome 191 and 192 . See also Denifle and See also:Chatelain, Chartularium universitatis parisiensis, Tome i .
