In this book Justin Shaun Coyle remembers the theology of beauty of the forgotten Summa Halensis, an early-thirteenth-century text written by Franciscan friars at the University of Paris. Many scholars vaunt the Summa Halensis―conceived but not drafted entirely by Alexander of Hales (d. 1245)―for its teaching on beauty and its influence on giants of the high scholastic idiom. But few read the text's teaching theologically―as a teaching about God. The Beauty of the Trinity: A Reading of the Summa Halensis proposes an interpretation of the Summa's beauty―teaching as deeply and inexorably theological, even trinitarian.
