HUGO DE SAINT-VICTOR (1096-1141): HISTORY, MEMORY AND ORDINATION IN THE STUDIES

ABSTRACT:

In this article, some reflections on the systematization of knowledge found in two works by the medieval master Hugo de Saint-Victor (1096-1141) are presented: Didascalicon, the art of reading and De sacramentis christianae fidei. The main objective of the text is to show how this thinker attached importance to history and memory in the teaching of students at the School of the Abbey of Saint-Victor, in view of its primary purpose: wisdom. When studying the History of Education, it is understood that the reflection on values, regardless of their historical period of elaboration, is relevant to human formation. Thus, it is understood that past and present are related and that, without this perception, it is not possible to understand educational priorities at different historical moments. By disregarding memory and historical knowledge, a civilization is bewildered, because when the past is not known, the present is not aware of and the future is not seen.
