Sentences
Encyclopedia : S : SE : SEN : Sentences
The Four Books of Sentences (Libri Quattuor Sententiarum) is Peter Lombard's seminal work, on which his reputation rests. Not a work of original theory, it was rather a systematic compilation of theology, written around 1150. It became a standard university textbook, and the subject of many scholastic commentaries. Lecturing on it for two years was a requirement for becoming a magister in medieval universities.
