This máster`s dissertation describes the research results in two years and six months period (2007 to 2009). At the first phase has occurred a scientific publication survey related to the research. They could be found in Brazil as outside. A comprehensive reading work has been done of Hugh of Saint Victor Didascalicon. The reading job has included also the book Christian Doctrine by St. Augustin because it is possible to observe that the Didascalicon is a retaking of this work. Finally, the Didascalicon presentation, in all, treating of the six books composition, three of them dedicated to the knowledge of human being works and the rest of them dedicated to the knowledge of God´s things. At the second phase of this dissertation, it has been investigated the problem involved in research; Hugh of Saint Victor in XII century makes a new division the arts, by which philosophy is constituted. The trivium, formed by grammar, dialetic (or logic) and rhetoric, and the quadrivium, consisting of arithmetic, music, geometry and astronomy, are not more all that constitute philosophy and the knowledge of the time and they begin to be a part of philosophy. In the new constitution of education organized by Hugh of Saint Victor, philosophy is divided in four sciences: theoretical, practical, mechanical and logic. Theoretical science, which is divided into theology, mathematics and physics, receives as a subdivision in mathematics, the quadrivium (astronomy, music, arithmetic and geometry). In this new divisions of philosophy practical science is divided in individual, private and public; mechanical science is divided in woollen fabrication art, armament, navigation, agriculture, hunt, medicine and theatre; finally, logical science, which contains the trivium arts, is divided into grammar and reasoning. Reasoning being divided in demonstration, sophistry and proof, wich contains both other sciences wich belong to trivium: dialectic and rhetoric. Our research has been to investigate according to Hugh of Saint Victor why the quadrivium with theology and physics constitute a special way to arrive to God´s Mind. In this sense, Hugh of Saint Victor says that, these sciences have the objective to investigate the truth of things and such truth belong God; discovering them, are reach knowledge of the Wisdom. Why does not Hugh include in the constitution of this way, grammar, which belongs to logical science, dialetic and rhetoric belonging to argumentation theory and also to logic? The practical triad and mechanical arts are also excluded by him. Here, Hugh answers that practical, mechanical and logic science, do not have as objective to investigate the truth of things, but to take care of man s life, preserve his body, and make easier his life in earth. Then, what would be the most important characteristic of the theorical triad, which would become detached from the other sciences, in such a way, as to make possible to their expert to arrive to the secrets of Divine Wisdom is the investigation of the truth of things. And more, which would be the reason of utmost importance for man to know the sciences and their respective arts? As will be observed in the course of the dissertation, such knowledge is made necessary so that the human being can, with knowledge, interpret several obscure passage of Holy Scripture
