SCHOOL OF ST VICTOR

The 'school of St Victor', or 'Victorines', was a group of philosophers and mystics based at the Augustinian abbey of St Victor in Paris. It was in effect founded, in the twelfth century, by Hugh of St Victor. Other prominent members were Richard of St Victor and Walter of St Victor. They were aside from, and in a sense opposed to, the emerging scholasticism, on which Walter launched a strong if unavailing attack.
