PETER, well known by the title of Master of the Sentences, was born at Novara, in Lombardy; but being bred at Paris, he distinguished himself so much at that university, that he had conferred on him the canony of Chartres, was for some time tutor to Philip son of Louis le Gros, and lastly obtained the see of Paris. He died in 1064. His work of the Sentences is regarded as the source of the scholastic theology of the Latin church. He also wrote Commentaries upon the Psalms, and upon St Paul's Epistles.
