TL;DR: This article argued that de Lubac's medieval exegesis is an exercise in theology, but specifically a tradition-oriented historical theology, drawing upon the fourfold sense as a tradition, a theological mentalite, often implicit, that suffuses ancient and medieval Christian theology.
Abstract: Henri de Lubac's contribution to Catholic theology is well-known. But the work of the latter part of his career on medieval exegesis has received less scholarly acclaim. Historians of exegesis find it apologetic and too theological, and thus unhelpful in their field, while most theologians, with a few exceptions, have seemed to find it too historical for their work. This article argues that de Lubac's Medieval Exegesis is an exercise in theology, but specifically a tradition-oriented historical theology. Drawing upon Maurice Blondel's philosophical definition of tradition, de Lubac aims to describe the ‘fourfold sense’ as a tradition, a theological mentalite, often implicit, that suffuses ancient and medieval Christian theology. It is the author' hope that the recognition of the proper genre and aim of de Lubac's magnum opus et arduum is the catalyst for further, properly theological, reflection upon its claims about scripture and tradition.

TL;DR: When Paul interprets "Do not muzzle the ox while threshing" as "do not neglect to pay Christian ministers" as mentioned in this paper, some commentators have quite naturally assumed that his exegesis was allegorical.
Abstract: When Paul interprets ‘Do not muzzle the ox while threshing’ as ‘do not neglect to pay Christian ministers’, commentators have quite naturally assumed that his exegesis was allegorical. However, comparisons with contemporary rabbinic exegesis suggest that this would have been regarded as a literal interpretation of the plain meaning of the text.
