This one-sided development was quite natural. The
innumerable problems arising from the reception of
Aristotelian logic and the study of canon and civil law, the
new possibilities of reasoning, the urgent need for
speculation and discussion, all these produced an
atmosphere of haste and excitement which was
unfavorable to biblical scholarship. The masters of the
cathedral schools had neither the time nor the training to
specialize in a very technical branch of Bible study. This
applied to the philosophers and humanists of Chartres as
much as to the theologians of Paris and Laon. Even Bec,
the last of the great monastic schools, had been no
exception. Lanfranc was a theologian and logician; the
genius of his pupil, St. Anselm of Canterbury, took
another direction. His philosophical works eclipsed his
biblical, which seem to have been lost. (p. 77)
