Özet:
Through an examination of Irimbert of Admont's (c. 1096--1176) scriptural commentaries, I argue that Irimbert makes use of traditional themes of scriptural interpretation while also engaging with contemporary developments in theology and spirituality. Irimbert of Admont and his writings have been understudied and generally mischaracterized in modern scholarship, yet a case study into his writings has much to offer in our understanding of theology and spirituality at the monastery of Admont and the wider context of the monastic Hirsau reform movement. The literary genre of exegesis itself offers a unique perspective into contemporary society and culture, and Irimbert's writings, which were written within a short span, make for an ideal case study.
Irimbert's corpus of scriptural commentaries demonstrates strong themes of salvation history and the positive advancement of the Church, and he explores such themes in the unusual context of the historical books of the Old Testament, which were rarely studied by medieval exegetes. Irimbert thus utilizes biblical history to craft an interpretive scheme of salvation history that delicately combines traditional and contemporary exegetical, theological, and spiritual elements.
The twelfth-century library at Admont housed an impressive collection of traditional patristic writings alongside the most recent scholastic texts coming out of Paris. Therefore, Irimbert did not work in intellectual isolation, and as such, his writings do not merely recycle traditional exegetical themes and practices. Rather, Irimbert subtly weaves contemporary theological and spiritual subject matter into his interpretive narratives of the scriptural text. Irimbert’s engagement with contemporary intellectual concerns speaks to a monastic community and reform network that was actively involved in the broader religious and cultural context of the twelfth century.
