 Since Lombard’s treatment of Jerome was partial and elliptical, later thinkers, in composing their commentaries on the Sentences, naturally turned to Jerome’s text in order to scrutinize the original passage. There, they discovered his apparent distinction between synderesis and conscience, which in turn would come to frame the parameters of the later medieval debate. If synderesis and conscience are in fact two separate parts of the soul, for instance, what is their relationship to one another? What, come to that, are their respective natures and, rather importantly, can they become disordered? Such questions would preoccupy the theologians of the later Middle Ages.
