Lectura super Sententias

Roger Roseth is one of those medieval scholars of whom only a few crumbs of information have survived for posteriority. We know him through marginal references in the manuscripts, which contain his only work identified so far, the lectures based on Peter Lombard's Sentences. As the name of Roseth's work Lectura super Sententias, indicates, the work originates in the practice of academic teaching. Since the lectures were often published afterwards, commentaries based on textbooks become a significant genre in medieval academic literature.
