With regard to the inquiry about medieval typology, one will find a very
nuanced precis of de Lubac's, _Exegese medievale_, which is indeed the
central study for this subject, distinguished from modern "allegory"
(Bunyanesque) and applied to modern theology in Paul M. Quay, _The Mystery
Hidden for Ages in God_ (Peter Lang, 1995, paperback 1997), ch. 7-8, with
contemporary application following in ch. 9-16. I recommend this because
Quay actually practices a de-Lubac-type of typology in quite sophisticated
fashion in this book, so one not only
gets a description of the practice but sees it practiced by a contemporary
theologian. This might permit a sort triangulation approach that could be
enlightening to a student of medieval sources.
