Abstract

This essay explores doxological Trinitarian Scholasticism within the medieval Victorine-Franciscan (V-F) tradition, spanning from Hugh of Saint Victor to St. Bonaventure. This intellectual framework identifies delight in divine glory as the governing principle of Trinitarian relations ad intra and creative activity ad extra. By synthesizing Victorine triads (power, wisdom, goodness) with Franciscan transcendentals, these thinkers present a Marian mode of theology where rigorous speculation culminates in lyrical praise. Ultimately, this tradition fosters a Trinitarian anthropology that structures Christian life as a doxological temple dedicated to the worship of God.
