MARTINES, Paulo Ricardo. The Practice of lectio in the Medieval tradition Lecturis salutem. Acta Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.41, e46791.  Epub 01-Sep-2019. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v41i1.46791.

Current paper deals with the practice of reading texts within the framework of the medieval university, particularly in the teaching cultivated by masters and students according to institutionalized pedagogical norms. Reading was a constant concern among the masters of the medieval period. This fact was revealed either in the warnings on readings that fail to build the Christian character because they worship only eloquence and not the virtue of wisdom (Isidore of Seville), or in the importance given to reading and the ways in which we should read certain texts (Hugh of Saint Victor) to train ‘the careful reader’ (Abelard) and prepare him to face the great themes of Philosophy provided in the schools of the twelfth century and in the future universities of the thirteenth century. The university is organized as a corporation and it is inseparable from what, within the sphere of the culture of the time, is called ‘Scholasticism’, with the masters´ teaching as the radiating element and focus of university studies. Current paper demonstrates how the practice of reading in the medieval tradition, present in the method recommended by the authors of ‘Scholasticism’, is met. In particular, Thomas Aquinas’ comments on Boethius’ treatise On the Trinity, regarding the classification of theoretical knowledge, will be highlighted.
