La hermenéutica en San Buenaventura. El Prólogo al Breviloquium

In this paper we will try to show the meaning of the expression, "hermeneutics in St. Bonaventure". The goal is not to make a hermeneutic reading of Bonaventurian thought but rather to inquire from the standpoint of intellectual history whether Bonaventure can be said to have developed a "hermeneutic theology" or, better yet, a "theological hermeneutic". To answer this question, we present a reading of Breviloquium's Prologue. Certainly it is the most important text to show us how Bonaventure used a hermeneutic approach to present theological science as method of understanding based in Holy Scripture.
