 Berengar of Tours Summary
Berengar took a "spiritual" view of salvation, in which the mental memory of the Lord's life, passion, and resurrection apparently did not entail an earthly reception of Christ's physical body, which was in fact incorruptibly located in heaven.
Berengar was less attracted by pure theology than by secular learning, and brought away a knowledge of Latin literature, dialectic, and a general knowledge and freedom of thought surprising for his age.
Berengar returned to France full of remorse for this desertion of his faith and of bitterness against the pope and his opponents; his friends were growing fewer-- Geoffrey was dead and his successor hostile.

 Berengar of Tours
Berengar of Tours, or Berengarius, a medieval theologian, was born at Tours early in the 11th century; he was educated in the famous school of Fulbert of Chartres, but even in early life seems to have exhibited great independence of judgment.
Appointed superintendent of the cathedral school of his native city, he taught with such success as to attract pupils from all parts of France, and powerfully contributed to diffuse an interest in the study of logic and metaphysics, and to introduce that dialectic development of theology which is designated the scholastic.
Berengar's belief was not shaken by their arguments and exhortations, and hearing that Lanfranc, the most celebrated theologian of that age, strongly approved the doctrine of Paschasius and condemned that of "Scotus" (really Ratramnus), he wrote to him a letter expressing his surprise and urging him to reconsider the question.

He was therefore invited to defend the doctrine of transubstantiation against the attacks of Berengar of Tours.
He took up the task with the greatest zeal, although Berengar had been his personal friend; he was the protagonist of orthodoxy at the councils of Vercelli (1050), Tours (1054) and Rome (1059).
But the quarrel was settled when he was on the point of departure, and he undertook the difficult task of obtaining the pope’s approval of the marriage.

 Dialectic & Theology in the 11th Century
Berengar's criticism of Lanfranc's understanding of the Eucharistic conversion 'is conventionally summarized by saying that he rejects the doctrine of substantial conversion because he finds it incompatible with certain philosophical ideas that he has come to accept as a dialectician' (p.
It is true, however, that Berengar also relies on purely philosophical ideas (particularly on his understanding of matter and form and on the dialectical theory of predication) in defending his understanding of the Eucharistic change.
He argues that there is no evidence that Berengar thought that reason could be used to establish truths of the faith; instead, he apparently held that those truths are established by the authoritative writings, and dialectic is used only to interpret and explain those writings.

 History of Philosophy 29
Berengar of Tours (999-2088) had brought discredit on the Scholastic movement by his heterodox views on the question of transubstantiation, and his condemnation in 1050 by four different councils resulted in a more or less widespread suspicion of all philosophers and of philosophy itself.
The effect of Roscelin's Trinitarian error was similar to that of Berengar's heresy.
At the council of Soissons, held in 1092, Roscelin was obliged to retract his heretical teachings concerning the Trinity, but he continued, apparently, to teach his nominalistic dialectic.

Berengar vertrat die symbolisch-spiritualistische Abendmahlslehre nach Augustinus, derentsprechend Brot und Wein der Substanz nach bleiben, was sie waren, und nur die geistige Bedeutung hinzuträte.
Mehrfach wurde Berengar durch verschiedene Synoden der Irrlehre bezichtigt und zur Rücknahme seiner Ansichten gezwungen, die er jedoch ebenso oft widerrief.
Nach darauf folgenden weiteren Demütigungen gab Berengar den Streit schließlich auf, ohne jedoch seine von der traditionellen Abendmahlslehre abweichenden Anschauungen aufzugeben.

In 1070 King William the Conqueror called him to England and, as an inducement to remain there, offered him a diocese.
The humble monk, however, not only refused the offer, but fearlessly denounced the conquest of England by the Normans as an act of robbery ("Oratio ad Guillelmum I" in P. He then returned to Normandy and became a stanch defender of the Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiation against the heretical Berengarius of Tours.
Some time between 1073-77 he wrote, at the instance of one of his fellow-monks by the name of Roger, his famous treatise on the Holy Eucharist, entitled "De corporis et sanguinis Jesu Christi veritate in Eucharistia".

 Dove Booksellers Order Page: Toivo J Holopainen, Dialectic and Theology in the Eleventh Century
The study provides a reappraisal of the controversy over the value of logic in theology in the eleventh century, which has for a long time been a theme central to the historiography of early medieval thought.
In the four chapters of the work the author gives close exegesis of the central texts by Peter Damian, Lanfranc of Bec, Berengar of Tours and Anselm of Canterbury respectively and argues that the familiar ways of describing the theme are thoroughly misleading.
Lanfranc's reputation as a dialectician is largely based on misunderstanding, whereas Berengar is a sophisticated thinker and a forerunner of scholasticism.

It is important because Radding (history, Michigan State Univ.) and Newton (classics, Duke Univ.) make a complex and well-supported claim to have identified the treatise of Alberic of Monte Cassino (long thought lost) against Berengar of Tours in the 11th-century Eucharistic controversy, and provide both a Latin edition and English translation of the treatise.
