  Bonaventure’s treatment of light is mainly found in the discussion of light in his commentary on Lombard’s Sentences, Bk. 2, d. 13. In this theological context, light mainly bears upon the work of the six days of creation, and Bonventure must take a position on the Genesis account of the creation of light. Though he acknowledges Augustine’s spiritualizing interpretation of light, an interpretation that identifies the light spoken of in Genesis with the creation and activities of the angels, Bonaventure inclines to a more literal  interpretation.[25]  This means that Bonaventure had to take a position on the contemporary debates on light and its nature.
