HUGO DE SANCTO CARO, sometimes called also H. DE S. THEORDORICO, was born at St. Cher, near to Vienne in Dauphiny, towards the close of the 12th century. He studied in the uni versity of Paris, where he subsequently held one of the chairs of theolog,y. In 1225 he was received into the order of the Dominicans, and in 1227 was appointed Provincial of this order in France. Ile was made Cardinal by Innocent IV. in 1244. He died at Orvieto, March 19, 1263, and was buried at Lyons. At the request of the Chapter-General of the Dominicans, he undertook the compilation of a Correctorium, or a correction of the text of the Vulgate. The title of a copy of this work, preserved in the Library of Nuremberg, is Liber de correctionibus novis super biblia, ad seiendum qua sit verior et comnuin /or litera, Reverena'issimi patris et domini D. Hugonis, sacra R0771. ecel. presbyteri eardinalis, sacra theologice proftssoris et de ordine pradicatorum. The authorities used by Hugo were the exegetical writings of Jerome, Augustine, Rhabanus Maurus, and Bede. He states also in the preface that they are drawn partly ex libris Hebrmorum et antiquissimis exemplaribus, quze etiam ante tempora Caroli Magna inscripta fuerant. It is, however, doubtful whether he were ac quainted with either Greek or Hebrew, as his various references to Greek versions and the He brew text are derived from Jerome. This work was the original of which several other correctoria were enlarged and revised editions. Roger Bacon strongly expresses his disapproval of it, and terms it pessima corruptio,' and says of it destruitur tex tus Dei' (Hody, De Bibl. Textibus, p. 429). Hugo
was also the author of a work entitled Sanctorum Bibliontm Coneora'antie, or, as it is sometimes called, Concordantia S. Yaeobi, from the Monastery of St. James, in Paris, wherein Hugo long resided. It is the earliest Scriptural Concordance, under standing by this term an alphabetical index to the words of Scripture. The earlier work by Antony of Padua [CorzcoRDANcE] is rather an index of subjects. On this account Hugo is sometimes styled Pater Coneora'antiarnm. In its earliest form the references only were given, but in a subsequent edition made three English Dominicans resident in Paris, John of Darlington, Richard of Stavensby, and Hugh of Croydon, the various passages were given in full. Both these forms of the work are called Conc. S. yaeobi, although the latter is some times disting-uished as Cone. A nglicana. In addi tion to these works Hugo was the author of a commentary on the entire Scriptures, entitled Pos. tilla in universa Biblia jhxta quadruplieein sen sum, literalem, allegoricum, moralem, anagogieum, written on the principle of discovering a fourfold sense in every passage. It has been frequently published, the principal editions being Venet. et Basil 1487, 6 vol. fol., Basil 1498, 1504 ; Paris 1508, 1538 ; Venet. 160o ; Colon. Agripp. 1621 : Lugd. 1645, 1669. Two other Biblical works by Hugo exist in MS. in the library of Paris : Ser moues sufier efiistolas et evangelia, de Import, Pro cessus in liBrum aterni.—S. N.
