Customer Reviews for Cistercian Publications Inc Lectio Divina: The Medieval Experience of Reading

In medieval monasteries, Scripture was meditated on, recited, and memorized in order for it to take root in one's experience. Robertson wonderfully surveys this tradition from theoretical writings in Cassian's Conferences through treatises by Hugh of St. Victor and Guigo II, along with allegorical commentaries on Song of Songs. 280 pages, softcover. Cistercian.
