Hardback, 217 p., 1 colour ill., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503038933. La premiere partie de ce volume publie quatre textes importants concernant la controverse abelardienne lancee par saint Bernard sur l'instigation de Guillaume de Saint-Thierry. Les trois premiers textes preparent la synode de Sens de juin 1140. Le quatrieme texte suit cette synode de bien pres. La seconde partie publie deux traites de Guillaume ecrits dans la periode 1140-1143. Dans la fameuse Lettre d'or Guillaume nous dit l'origine et le but de ces deux textes. ? L'inquietude de quelques jeunes freres de Signy me contraignit de composer ces deux traites. De fait, l'ardeur de leur amour, non moins que l'intensite de leur foi, leur inspire une telle horreur pour tout ce qui leur parait contraire a la foi, qu'ils croient radicalement atteinte en eux la piete et ils pleurent sur eux-memes a faire pitie comme s'ils etaient reprouves. ? Dans le premier livre (Speculum fidei) le lecteur non initie apprend comment il faut recevoir la foi, l'apprecier et la gouter. Dans le second (Aenigma fidei) il apprend avec quelle prudence qu'il lui convient d'avancer dans la connaissance des verites de la foi. Languages: Latin, French. 0 g. Seller Inventory # 36516
