Sumario:The research on the lines of influence in the tracing of the Latin West intellectual routes to the Iberian Peninsula ‒prior to the 13th century‒ is producing some particularly interesting outcomes. The paper addresses a case study linked to the transmission and reception of knowledge which, far from being completely unravelled, continues to appear as a complex problem which requires new epistemological approaches ‒if a consistent framing of the problem is to be achieved. The research on the routes of intellectual exchange in the Iberian Peninsula (9th-12th centuries) ‒Latin doctrinal texts in circulation within the territory of al-Andalus and between Mozarab communities‒ leads us to think that some previous conclusions about the doctrinal influences within the Tathlīth al-waḥdāniyyah cannot be confirmed: connecting Peter Abelard’s Theologia Summi boni to the triad “power” (qudrah), “knowledge” (ʿilm) and “will” (irādah) in order to characterise the attributes of the Trinity. New hypotheses have been suggested concerning a path of influence through Hugh of St. Victor’s De tribus diebus triad, as proposed by Dominique Poirel, this path could be placed in the triad used by Ambrose of Milan. However, more recent research proposes to investigate new ways of doctrinal and textual penetration in the Iberian Peninsula (al-Andalus, in particular) which, to a certain extent, share Ambrosius’ triad, but through Greek doctrines and texts coming from Near East. Throughout this paper, I present hypotheses and results from previous research, as well as a recapitulation and hypotheses of ongoing investigations. This is an investigative note that does not have a conclusive nature; instead, it aims to provide new ways to approach the problem.
