The beautiful Latin MS 198 of the John Rylands Library preserves one of two currently known manuscript copies of the Servite Lorenzo Opimo of Bologna’s Scriptum on the Sentences, the only such text by a Servite that survives. In 1494, the Chapter General of the Servite Order made Lorenzo the order’s teaching doctor, since the representatives declared that his work, primarily his questions on the Sentences, would be required reading for Servite students and masters of theology. No doubt as a result, Lorenzo’s Scriptum was printed in Venice in 1532. To most medieval intellectual historians, the printing, the author, and even the religious order are virtually unknown.

This chapter will address an almost cursory allusion and its deeper implications. In Chapter 26 of The Country Parson , “The Parson’s eye,” George Herbert makes a brief, positive reference to Jean Charlier de Gerson (1363–1429), a late medieval French Catholic theologian and Chancellor of the University of Paris with whom the Protestant priest-poet had a good deal in common. Herbert is discussing how the country parson’s watchful eye can help his parishioners to achieve the proper balance between an overly
