| biography:
| Theologian, born near Novara, N Italy. He studied in Bologna, at Reims, and in Paris, and, after holding a chair of theology there, became Bishop of Paris (1159). He was generally styled ‘Master of Sentences’, because of his collection of sentences from Augustine and others on points of Christian doctrine, with objections and replies. The theological doctors of Paris in 1300 denounced some of his teachings as heretical, but his work became the standard textbook of Catholic theology until the Reformation. |
