| Summary: | Cassiodorus grouped Eucherius’ Formulae spiritalis intellegentiae with four other introductiones, all of which are supposedly about biblical interpretation. However, and despite its Preface, Eucherius’ treatise does not fit well with the other hermeneutical treatises. This article attempts to determine the alleged purpose of Eucherius’ Formulae and assess the interpretative advice that it provides. It is argued that Formulae is a compendium assisting one in a meditative lectio divinae. |
