		Peter the Venerable (1092/4-1156), wielding the lizard-crested crosier of his office, led 1,212 monks and 200 priors into the newly completed church of the monastery of Cluny.
		Peter called their meal a "transmission of the bread of eternal life" and preached it was a metaphor for the enriching bonds of monastic community.
		Peter declared that "all the leftovers from the tables in the refectory and the infirmary should without any exception be given in alms." There would be no half measures to charity while Cluny was under his watch.

	Article in The Medieval Review
		In the course of attacking these denials, Peter lays out an ecclesiology in which Church and society are identified with each other, and the foundation of both is held to be the sacrifice of Christ, both originally at Calvary, and repeated over and over again in the Eucharist.
		While Peter's stubborn refusal to understand the tone and purpose of these Talmudic tales is dismaying to modern readers, we cannot help but admire his industrious seeking out of authoritative Jewish texts to use in his arguments against Judaism.
		Peter was heavily dependent on earlier Arab-Christian portrayals of Muhammad and Islam, yet his response to the Prophet's religion, like his more innovative response to Judaism, is undergirded by the same view of the church and society that his attack on the Petrobrusians was.

	Chapter 1 - Bernardus Moralensis
		Peter's colourful picture of troubles in and around Cluny may be an exaggerated account of the actions of some of Pons' supporters, trying, in Pons' absence and without his approval, to secure his position in the abbey's villas and granges.
		Peter the Venerable says that, at Cluny itself, there were between three hundred and four hundred monks, while in former times there had been seventy or eighty.
		It is clear from the letters of Peter the Venerable that the salutation commonly consisted of three parts: the name and title of the person addressed, in the dative; the name and title of the writer, in the nominative; and a prayer or wish, in the accusative or in the infinitive.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Blessed Peter of Montboissier
		Peter resisted the attacks with both firmness and meekness, and took occasion of them to write the rules of the Congregation of Cluny, one of the most complete and perfect codes of religious life.
		He was prominent in resisting the schism caused by the antipope Anacletus II, after the death of Honorius II (1130).
		When Abelard's doctrine had been condemned at Soissons, Peter opened his monastery to him, reconciled him with St. Bernard and with the pope, and had the joy of seeing him spend the rest of his life under his guidance.

		Nevertheless, Peter generously accepted the "bondage of authority" though he would have preferred the "liberty of obedience." It was a huge task because Cluny Abbey at that time governed 400 monks in the monastery in addition to 2,000 houses all over Europe--reaching into Asia.
		Nevertheless, Peter was one of the most eminent churchmen of his age, and during the 34 years of his governance Cluny retained its position as the greatest and most influential abbey in Christendom.
		Peter wrote against Petrobrusian heretics in southern France, defended the Jews, attended the synod of Rheims that denounced the teachings of Bishop Gilbert de la Porree, and had a voluminous correspondence with his contemporaries.

		When Peter met Heloise she already spoke Latin, Hebrew, and Greek and she was well educated in ancient philosophy and rhetoric.
		Believing Peter to be a cad, her uncle became angry about the humiliation to Heloise, and in an attempt to force her to publicly acknowledge her marriage, he abused her.
		Peter then continued his complex philosophical and religious career, while Heloise lived the rest of her life as an Abbess; there merely because her husband had chosen his career over her.

	Peter the Venerable's Traverse of Spain
		In short, all the hypotheses regarding Peter's supposed advent in Spain during the decade 1124-1134 remain without substantiation, and stand in flat contradiction to the fact that Cluniac affairs in Spain, including the annual inspection of the priories, were regularly administered by itinerant (eventually resident provincial) chamberlains (camerarii).
		Peter's own trip in 1142, which followed receipt of an express inuitatio of Alfonso VII, and can be linked to the fate of the ever more indispensable Hispanic census and to a disputed election to the see of Compostela, was clearly another such exceptional venture.
		Peter does not specifically mention his stopping at Estella, as he does at Nájera, but this can legitimately be inferred from his admiring description of the castle there and its surroundings, and also from the phrase ut aestimo used to justify the toponym Stella.

		It is also interesting through Peter's answer to a question which besets the modern reader on almost every page of these medieval records, but which it required some real spirit of criticism to raise in the twelfth century.
		It will be noted that Peter, at this second mention, betrays the actual name of the monastery where the scandal had taken place.
		3 It needed a narrator of Peter's intellectual distinction to raise this question in the twelfth century, though it is suggested to the modern mind by almost every medieval miracle in which demons are represented as playing a visible or audible part.

	Peter the Venerable's Journey to Spain
		Peter accepted it, we may legitimately conclude from a principal accomplishment of his trip, as the opportunity to secure from Alfonso, in the midst of Cluny's extreme financial distress, a settlement of the unpaid annual subsidy granted the Burgundian abbey in perpetuity by the Emperor's grandfather, Alfonso VI.
		Second, whether or not Peter the Venerable's purpose of securing Latin versions of the Koran and other Islamic doctrinal texts antedates 1142, it may be deduced that this interest was whetted, if not originally inspired, by the theological interests and manuscripts of the learned Mozarab Master Peter of Toledo.
		I take this to mean that Peter is expressing gratitude to his devoted friend, the archbishop of Bordeaux, who served as Cluny's protector during the Spanish journey, and to whom Peter entrusted all Cluny's houses, an office Geoffrey discharged with great fidelity according to his own account and the witness of the monks of Cluny.

	Jacques Maritain Center: CE - Abelard
		Peter, the oldest of their children, was intended for a military career, but, as he himself tells us, he abandoned Mars for Minerva, the profession of arms for that of learning.
		Bernard now wrote to the members of the Roman Curia, with the result that Abelard had proceeded only as far as Cluny on his way to Rome when the decree of Innocent II confirming the sentence of the Council of Sens reached him.
		The Venerable Peter of Cluny now took up his case, obtained from Rome a mitigation of the sentence reconciled him with St. Bernard, and gave him honourable and friendly hospitality at Cluny.
