Sentences
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the medieval work. For other meanings, see sentence.
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.
