Nicholas of Lyra

Now, was there still literal, literal interpretation present? Yes.

In fact, uh, one individual that's often mentioned by hermeneutical textbooks is Nicholas of Lyra in the fourteenth century, and he had a extensive literal commentary drawing on Hebrew and Jewish interpretation.

He was especially influenced by a rabbi named Rashi.

So yes, that still existed, but by and large, there was significant allegorization during this time period.
