Peter Lombard
Peter Lombard was a twelfth-century Italian theologian whose *Sentences* became the standard textbook of Catholic theology for four centuries.
Medieval scholars earned their credentials by writing commentaries on it.
His systematic organization of doctrine—drawing together biblical passages, church fathers, and logical analysis—established the template for scholastic theology.
