Footnote 63:
Tom. iii. p. 356.—In speaking of the days of creation and of the
analogous seasons in the new creation within man, he says that as God
first saw the light, that it was good, and then divided it from the
darkness, so we must first try the spirit and examine our light with
care, ere we part it from what we call darkness, since Satan can
assume the garb of an angel of light.
For an elaborate account of his entire theology, the reader is
referred to Liebner’s _Hugo von St. Victor und die Theologischen
Richtungen seiner Zeit_; one of the best of the numerous monographs
German scholarship has produced.
