 | | Anselm was certainly aware of them, though he looked more closely to Augustine; Abelard's first theological work, the Theologia Summi Boni, despite its originality, is clearly inspired by Boethius's first treatise (on the Trinity). |
 | | In the 1140s, Gilbert of Poitiers expounded his metaphysics and his view of theology in a detailed exegesis the opuscula sacra, which came to be the standard commentary, although the treatises were also commented on by other, more Platonically-minded twelfth-century scholars. |
 | | Although the opuscula sacra were not formally a part of the theology curriculum in most later medieval universities, they continued to be studied, and Aquinas wrote commentaries on Treatises I and III. |
