Abstract
The first section of this chapter is devoted to the results of the textual criticism of the Bible that issued from the work of theologians and philologists educated in Louvain. Then, it focuses on Bible commentaries and appeals to Augustine's works in the second half of the sixteenth century. A third section is devoted to the development of an 'Augustinian' interpretation of the Bible in Louvain in the early seventeenth century. The last section deals with the Bible commentaries issued from the Augustinian-minded theological circles around Cornelius Jansenius of Ypres. With the help of the biblical tongues, Greek, Hebrew and other oriental languages, and inspired by a concern for the establishment of the true text of the Bible, the biblical scholars who appear in the chapter were seeking the literal sense, the sense of the holy text intended by Jesus and the inspired writers. Keywords:Augustine; Bible commentaries; biblical scholars; Hebrew; Louvain
