About this Item

1728 Medieval Peter Abelard & Heloise Illicit Love Philosophy Sexuality Gervaise Peter Abelard was a 12th-century medieval philosopher known for his foundational studies in logic. Though he is perhaps best remembered by his association in the story Abelard and Heloise , his roots in Catholic theology helped develop the concept of limbo . Author Francois Armand Gervaise, an 18th-century Trappist (Our Lady of La Trappe) monk, was primarily remembered for his edition of Abelard and Heloise titled Life of Pierre Abeillard . According to Montoya, Gervaise s Vie de Pierre Abeillard sought to resituate Abelard s career within the roader framework of ecclesiastic historiography. By focusing not on Abelard the lover, but on the man of faith� Because of its polemic nature, it effectively foregrounded the central conflict between pagan eros and Christian agape� Gervaise s translation softened the allusions to carnal love. and sought to reinscribe the story within a religious traditions of monastic historiography.
