- Title
An Identity-Seeking Model of Approaching Tradition: Joachim of Fiore and the Lombardian Critique.
- Authors
HARIGA, Florina Rodica
- Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyze the way in which Joachim of Fiore approaches the doctrine of the Trinity present in the first book of the Sentences of Peter the Lombard and the consequences that the critique made by the Abbot will have upon the further understanding of the history of ideas regarding versions of biblical exegesis (allegorical, symbolical or institutional, literal) and the doctrine of salvation. Concepts such as quaternity and similitude are put into discussion while the article focuses on developing a correct understanding of the three statuses and the two tempora through which Joachim of Fiore divides history in order to better highlight the evolution of the idea of salvation and how this concept operates in Christianity. An analysis of the three images (the tree of the two tempora; the tree of the Trinity; the Trinitarian circles) present in Joachim's Liber figurarum has the purpose of detailing the figurative thought and understanding of the Scripture realized by the Abbot in his own very unique manner.
