When reading "Didascalicon" I was missing an overview of the work.
Both for the benefit of knowing, what the structure were, and also to know if the work was worth reading - even cursorily.?
I have not been able to find such an index anywhere. Therefore I have compiled the following index of chapters in the 6 books.
As the title suggests it is a work concerning didactics and learning. It is not exactly as sometimes stated an encyclopedia, however it does touch on many concepts, ideas and areas of knowledge, which Hugh of St. Victor thinks will be instructive in the formation of a learned scholar, even if he?does not really think this endeavour is for everyone.
That this is not an encyclopedia in the classic sense, you will easily ascertain, when glancing over the index below.
The source has been:
