On the contrary, the ongoing conversation has reached the point where revisionist approaches now question earlier commonplaces. At the same time, despite agreement about the existence of this distinct era in the High Middle Ages, little consensus exists about how best to characterize its chief concerns, characteristics, and accomplishments. Indeed, a remarkable variety of “theological styles” coexists in a century that includes figures as diverse as Anselm of Canterbury, Peter Abelard, Hugh and Richard of St. Victor, Bernard of Clairvaux, William of St. Thierry, Hildegard of Bingen, Peter Lombard, and Peter Comestor—to name only the more well-known. In the mid-twentieth century, one historian characterized this period as “the most uncompromisingly christocentric period of

More precisely, it asks what possible role there might be for the existence and activity in the next life of the human sensorium, that is, the capacity for perception that in this life most typically occurs through the five physical senses. It argues that there is a robust and venerable Christian tradition of speculation, as well as Christological and anthropological bases, that warrants the claim that beatitude may well be an experience that is, paradoxically, both spiritual and sensuous.

This contribution focuses primarily on the comparison between the Speculum Ecclesiae and the Sententiae de divinitate of Hugh of St. Victor. These two texts share a description of the genera veri, which is not found - except for the Miscellanea - in any other Hugh’s work. But also the question of the senses of scripture, which highlights a singular attempt to reconcile a threefold and a fourfold subdivision that would culminate in the anagogic sense, the highest and most spiritual.
