[8] Terricus Carnotensis, Breton, _scolarum magister_ at Chartres 1121,
taught rhetoric at Paris c. 1140, died c. 1150; _Comment. De invent._
and _Rhet. ad Herenn._; _Heptateuchon_ c. 1141 (Chartres MSS. *497, 498)
described in Clerval, 220 seq., with a synoptic table of contents.
[9] Donatus and Priscian.
[10] Cic. _De invent._ and _Partit. Orat._, _Rhet. ad Herenn._, the
summary of Severianus, and Martianus Capella.
[11] The usual Boethian items.
[12] Translated in Clerval, 221.
[13] Hugh of St. Victor, Saxon, c. 1096-1141, entered the Abbey of
St. Victor at Paris c. 1116 and taught there; works PL 175-177. See
especially Mignon, whose second chapter is a good summary of studies
before Hugh. A critical study of the MSS. by Hauréau (B.), _Les œuvres
de H. de St. V._, Paris, 1886 (a revision of a study published in 1859),
shows that _Eruditio didascalica_ has only six parts, the seventh added
in PL being a separate work. See also Fourier Bonnard, _Histoire de
l’abbaye royale et de l’ordre des chanoines réguliers de St. Victor de
Paris_, Paris (n. d.); and the index to Manacorda. John of Salisbury
refers to Hugh, and uses part of his classification.
[14] The division, which is common in the middle age (e.g., John of
Salisbury, _Metalogicus_, II. ii), is in Quintilian, _Inst. Or._ XII. 2.
10.
[15] About 1159. For John see Poole, the index to Clerval, and the
antiquated, but still suggestive study of Schaarschmidt, _J. S. nach
Leben und Studien ..._, Leipzig, 1862. Webb (C. C. I.) has edited the
_Policraticus_, Oxford, 1909, with an introduction especially valuable
for John’s reading, and announced an edition of the _Metalogicus_, for
which meantime the only available text is in PL 199, referred to in
this section by column. The letters, also in PL 199, were printed with
Gerbert’s and Stephen of Tournai’s in 1611 (Paris, Ruette). The _Historia
pontificalis_, printed in MGH as anonymous, has been edited by Poole,
Oxford University Press, 1927. _Policraticus_ IV, V, VI, with selections
from VII and VIII, are translated, with an introduction, by Dickinson
(J.) as _The statesman’s yearbook of J. of S._, New York, 1927.
