"The letter teaching the things that were done, the allegory what you should believe, the moral what you should do, the anagogical where you are headed." (See P.J. Archambault, tr. A Monk's Confession: The Memoirs of Guibert of Nogent, Pennsylvania State Press [University Park 1996], p. 60.) Tiso in TJ XXX no. 3 [1998] 123. |
