PONTIFICAL INSTITUTE OF MEDIAEVAL STUDIES STUDIES AND TEXTS THE THEOLOGY OF THE HYPOSTATIC UNION IN THE EARLY THIRTEENTH CENTURY Volume I: William of Auxerre's Theology of the Hypostatic Union In preparation by the same author: Volume II: Alexander of Hales's Theology of the Hypostatic Union Volume III: Hugh of Saint-Cher's Theology of the Hypostatic Union Volume IV: Philip the Chancellor's Theol [...] Gregory the Great and became standard among mediaeval authors taught that the sandal symbolized the humanity of Christ and the strap the "ligature of the mystery."2 Following this interpretation, Peter Lombard presents the text both as the Baptist's declaration of his inability to grasp the mystery of the Incarnation and as an "authority" advising the Christian theologian of the inscrutability of [...] To a considerable extent, then, the history of the theology of the mode of union in Christ as that theology developed in the second half of the twelfth century and the first half of the thirteenth century is the history of the attitude of theologians towards these three opinions and of the parti- cular conclusions they elaborated in connection with them.10 Although to trace the entire development [...] The study of the theology of the Hypostatic Union in the leading theologians of this period of intellectual ferment should be an interesting test of the influence of these new philosophical currents upon the theology of that time. [...] In such cases, "hypostasis" should be understood as equivalent to the person of the Son; thus the expression will refer simply to the union in Christ of his human nature in and to the divine person of the Word such as Catholic faith teaches, leaving open the question about the exact mode of this union, the very object of the theological investigations being examined.
