The Teachings of Hugh of St. Victor

Hugh of St. Victor's most famous remark befits this versatility and his attention to the educational needs of the students at the Abbey. He compared the works of the philosophers to a freshly painted wall whose inviting color conceals the clay of error beneath. Hugh was under no illusions about the difficulty and unwelcoming nature of this task. The rigorous and comprehensive course of study is designed to prepare students to do just that.
