He also suggest possible influence of 'De doctrina christiana' on 'Didas calicon', in which no citations of 'De doctrina' exist, and 'De scripturis et scriptoribus sacris', where three citations or paraphrases exist. Finally, Z. examines Augustine's influence on Hugh's exegesis of 1 Pet. 5:8 and Hugh's exegetical principle that circumstance i.e. "person, place and time" are key elements in interpreting scripture."
