Do you mean among writers of that time period, or among modern writers?
Among 11th-12th century writers, the list is endless; you could look at
monastic writers such as Bernard of Clairvaux or William of St. Thierry, or
early scholastic writers such as Peter Lombard or Peter Abelard--and that's
just for starters. Among modern writers, try Landgraf, Pelikan, Chenu,
Gilson, de Ghellinck, Bell, Elder,--again, just for starters.
