Abstract

Between 1231 and 1234 at Paris Hugh of Saint-Cher OP (ca. 1190–1263) finished his Opus, a commentary devoted to Peter Lombard’s Sentences. The present paper offers the first study accompanied by transcription of Hugh’s distinction II.2. I am dealing with Hugh's impact on scholastic theology considered in itself and within the broader scholastic tradition. According to Hugh, angels are temporally coextensive with the empyrean, prime matter, and first instant. Being bodiless, angels occupy the empyrean as a natural corporal place, while angel's essence and action determine their presence on earth. Unlike souls enclosed in bodies, the angelic intellect understands things in their direct presence rather than through similitudes. I also delineate tenets of Hugh's doctrinal influence upon subsequent generation of scholastic masters, notably John of la Rochelle, Eudes Rigaud, Richard Fishacre, and Richard Rufus
