	Jacques Maritain Center: CE - Abelard
		Taking Abelard's own account of the incident, it is impossible not to blame him for the temerity which made him such enemies as Alberic and Lotulph, pupils of Anselm, who, later on, appeared against Abelard.
		That Abelard was unduly conscious of these advantages is admitted by his most ardent admirers; indeed, in the "Story of My Calamities," he confesses that at that period of his life he was filled with vanity and pride.
		Abelard's influence on his immediate successors was not very great, owing partly to his conflict with the ecclesiastical authorities, and partly to his personal defects, more especially his vanity and pride, which must have given the impression that he valued truth less than victory.

	A. Classen: Luise Rinser's Novel: Abelard's Love
		Abelard's struggle against the Synod of Soisson is recounted in considerable detail, because the narrator —— obviously reflecting Rinser's own thoughts —— increasingly reveals his profound sympathy and pity for this great teacher who was far ahead of his time and was condemned to humiliating acts of submission under the orthodox doctrines of the church.
		By turning to the famous couple Abelard and Heloise in her novel, Rinser outlines a model of human society in which love gains the highest priority because it is no longer equated with simple sweetness and delight, but identified as a fundamental force of terrifying but glorious consequences.
		Abelard's last few words to Heloise are not disclosed to us, and we do not know whether Astrolabe ever delivered the sheet to his mother, because Abelard disappeared behind the cloister walls of Cluny and soon thereafter passed away, leaving behind a forlorn son who had barely known the father behind the teacher.

		Nonetheless, Heloise’s interest in a Rule for women and her undertaking of an intellectual challenge to Benedict’s usefulness for women is radical because it predates the interest in the Rule undertaken by the schools later in the century.
		Heloise’s third letter, which has been traditionally identified as her conversion letter, seeks direction for a religious community of women, and Abelard’s letters 7 and 8 respond to this request.
		Abelard argues that this Mother superior be older than the other nuns and better educated in religious doctrine so that she might call on her charges to listen, follow, and obey.

	Peter Abelard (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Abelard points out that collections are posterior to their parts, and, furthermore, the collection is not shared among its parts in the way a universal is said to be common to many.
		Abelard holds that the signification of a term is the informational content of the concept that is associated with the term upon hearing it, in the normal course of events.
		Abelard maintains that the part is essentially different from the integral whole of which it is a part, reasoning that a given part is completely contained, along with other parts, in the whole, and so is less than the quantity of the whole.

	Constant J. Mews - Abelard and Heloise - Reviewed by Kevin Guilfoy, Carroll College - Philosophical Reviews - ...
		Abelard, like most theologians, is perfectly willing, in fact eager, to accept the wisdom of the Fathers while distancing himself from some of the literal meanings of their words.
		For example, Mews traces Abelard's ethical commitment that moral responsibility attaches exclusively to intention and consent to Heloise's arguments that the reform of the inner person is essential to an ethical life.
		Abelard is moved by Heloise to an understanding of amor and dilectio as a force of the soul longing for its natural end (67).

	Chronicles of Love and Resentment XIII
		Heloise claims that women are inferior to men and require their protection; Abelard insists that, on the contrary, God hears women's prayers more readily than men's; both cite numerous biblical passages as evidence--Heloise mostly from the Old Testament, Abelard, from the New.
		Heloise treats Abelard as her superior, as in intellect and learning--and years--no doubt he was, just as he was superior to his masculine contemporaries.
		Abelard and Heloise, their love all too literally cut short, deserve to be called the creators of the modern ideal of marriage founded on the voluntarily shared tenderness of a couple who shelter each other from the harshly competitive world of the marketplace.

		The story of Heloise and Abelard is one intimate and intertwined with one of Paris' oldest still-existing regions: its CloÃ®tre Notre-Dame.
		Abelard, probably fearing for his career, decided to return Heloise to her Argenteuil Coventry to become a nun, and he himself left the cloister for a teaching post at Saint- Denis cathedral.
		The story of Heloise and Abelard is one of the earliest romances known to this city, and it is probably for this that their names are famous here even today.

		The romance of Héloïse and Abelard remains one of the greatest love stories of all time—one of forbidden love; the eventual lifelong separation of the lovers, cloistered in a monastery and convent; and the vengeful castration of Abelard by Héloïse's uncle.
		Burge draws heavily on historical sources and the letters of Heloise and Abelard to recount the lives of the famous lovers.
		Their affair was conducted virtually under the nose of Heloise's uncle, who was enraged when he learned the truth and eventually had Abelard castrated.

	Heloise (abbess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Not a great deal is known of her immediate family except that in her letters she implies she is of a lower social standing (probably the Garlande family who had money and several members in strong positions) than was Abélard, who was from the nobility.
		What is known is that she was the ward of an uncle, a canon in Paris named Fulbert, and by the age of 18 she had become the student of Pierre Abélard who was one of the most popular teachers and philosophers in Paris.
		In his writings, Abélard tells the story of his seduction of Heloïse, their secret marriage, the birth of a son, Astrolabius (in English, "Astrolabe"), and of his castration by her furious guardian, after which Heloïse entered a convent in Argenteuil.

		Peter Abelard's own account of it, as a relationship of pure lust, was undoubtedly influenced by the terrible punishment he endured at the hands of Heloise's uncle, who had him castrated.
		Abelard decides to go into a monastery and Heloise decides perhaps very much under the influence of Abelard, to go and take vows in a convent, the convent where she had been brought up.
		And Abelard says, 'Well look, take over this oratory, this retreat that I've established, and I can't hold together.' He gives it to her, it becomes, it is in fact dedicated to the Holy Spirit, which is a key notion in Abelard's thought.

		Abelard and Heloise were married in accord with customary legitimate process at the time.
		According to Abelard, she also wrote of the unbearable annoyances of marriage and its endless anxieties, that a man should not take a wife and of the constant muddle and squalor which small children bring into the home.

	The Lost Love Letters of Heloise and Abelard (0312216041) MEWS - Palgrave Macmillan
		Heloise's letters compel me to reconsider the views expressed in A History of Women Philosophers Volume 2 regarding Heloise's sexual interest in Abelard, while clarifying the fact that she took the doctrine of the morality of intention much more seriously than did Abelard.
		Indeed, it is made clear that not only are the Clairvaux letters the work of two distinctly different authors, but that woman is the man's student, "the only disciple of philosophy among all the women of our age" as he calls her, the man a famous teacher, a master of philosophy and a poet.
		He also places the 'story' of Abelard and Heloise into the broader context of their era, explaining how the political upheavals and cultural changes of the 12th century played a part in their relationship and in their lives in general.

		For two years they wrote to each other every day - brilliant and moving evocations of their love, the passion of their lovemaking, of stolen moments in churches, of their secret marriage and the birth of their child.
		Their letters describe how, in a brutal attack motivated by jealousy, misunderstanding, and dark desires, Abelard was set upon and castrated by thugs employed by Heloise’s family.

	Medieval Sourcebook: Discussion of Heloise's Letters to Abelard
		I also thought that Newman's article was memorable for demonstrating the perversity of assumptions that Heloise could not have been the author of certain of the letters, and that we should look to Abelard for their origin.
		On the other hand, there is indeed medieval evidence concerning Heloise's letters: a translation in 1280 by Jean de Meun [ie circa 150 years later than the putative date] and nine Latin manuscripts all claiming that the letters were written by her.
		Dronke argues that the letters are "substantially by Heloise" (108), even though she might have edited the letters and someone else might have created the collection.
