  • Summary

  • Jordan and Charles sail into the Victorines, that 12th-century community of theologians whose foundational work at St. Victor’s Abbey shaped Christian reading for centuries. They talk the “quadriga,” the layered method of exegesis that sees Scripture first as history, then allegory, moral insight, and mystical vision. But they go further, exploring how Hugh of St. Victor built on the literal sense — history’s jagged, half-submerged stones — by fitting to it a second foundation of spiritual meaning.
