medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Several twelfth-century works come to my mind. Commentaries on the Epistle to the Romans usually discuss this duplex law in their comments on 13:8-10, where St. Paul discusses love of neighbor. The best discussions I've seen of this from the twelfth century come from the commentaries of Peter Abelard and William of St. Thierry, which I worked on in my doctoral dissertation. William's commentary is found in Corpus Christianorum Continuatio Medievalis (CCCM) vol. 86, english translation published in the Cistercian Fathers series, vol. 27, published by Cistercian Publications. Abelard's commentary is found in CCCM vol. 11, no english translation yet, though I'm working on it; I can provide translation if you need it. See also his comments on 7:6 and 7:13.Also, Bernard of Clairvaux is bound to have something on this in his works; see for example Sermon 20 on the Song of Songs.
