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.
