(c. 1110–1175), Christian Hebraist, probably English by birth; died as
abbot of Wigmore (Herefordshire). Andrew was the pupil, in Paris, of
Hugh of Saint-Victor (d. 1141), who was interested in Jewish biblical
exegesis. Andrew acquired some proficiency in Hebrew, engaged in
prolonged oral discussion with Jews, and was the first exegete after
jerome to introduce Jewish material into a Christian Bible
commentary on a substantial scale. His works cover Genesis through
Kings, the Prophets (including Daniel), Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes (the
last is the only one available in a printed edition; ed. by G. Calandra,
1948). The Vulgate is collated with the Hebrew text, and an
embryonically critical attitude is adopted toward the sources, patristic
and Jewish alike. Andrew's lack of concern with Christian theological
tradition even allowed him to interpret the "Suffering Servant" of
Isaiah 53 not as Jesus, but as Israel, or Isaiah himself. As an
innovator, he was at first fascinated by his newfound Jewish sources and
recited them indiscriminately. Later he assessed them more critically,
though primarily from a rationalist rather than a theological
standpoint. He evinced interest in biblical chronology and geography.
His work parallels matter found in rashi and joseph bekhor
Shor. Andrew's work circulated quite widely, and in about 1271–72,
roger bacon , while commending his resort to the Hebrew text,
deplored the prestige enjoyed by his "literalist" commentaries.
