Summary
Since the pioneering work of Beryl Smalley, the figure of Andrew of St.
Victor (+1175) has attracted growing attention. This volume presents the
editio princeps of Andrew of St. Victor's commentary on the biblical books of
Samuel and Kings. Apart from a commentary (written before 1147 and surviving
in nine manuscripts), an analysis of Andrew's sources, and a study of the
position of this commentary in the history of biblical interpretation and its
relation to twelfth-century teaching and medieval literary theory. The present edition also includes two other related works by Andrew, which are associated with the commentary on Samuel and Kings: an excerpt of the last
part of the book of Chronicles and an exegetical treatise on the ruling years
of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Andrew was a regular canon of the Parisian abbey of St. Victor, founded in
1108, which in the twelfth century had developed into a prestigious centre
of spiritual learning. His commentaries are a rich source for the history
both of biblical hermeneutics and of interreligious dialogue during the Middle Ages.
