medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Christopher,
>but not repeated by Molinier ?
You are right. I first noticed and saved the necrology entry form RdH
(anywhere), but you also find it in Molinier, Ob Sens II, Chartes, P. 42-43.
Sprandel's map is surely not exact in every detail.
>i don't find it at all surprising that you might have a few "corrections"
to a 1917 article in the Catholic encyclopedia, and i certainly welcome any
additions or corrections you might have to anything on my site, with
gratitude.
I really admire your online work about Chartres, and I often took some
valuable informations from there. But on revisiting your pages during the
last days, I found many broken links. As regards the entry of Peter of Celle
[sic] from the Catholic encyclopedia, I give you some suggestions in square
brackets:
Peter of Celles: [more usual: Peter of Celle]
Bishop of Chartres, born of noble parentage in Champagne [probably
Aulnoy-les-Minimes near Provins; in about 1115]; died at Chartres, 20
February, 1183. [he died on 19 Febr.; 20 Febr. was his burial date at
Josaphat, next to his friend John of Salisbury ] He was educated [probably
guest or novice, but not student in Saint-Martin, more probably he was
educated in the schools of Paris or Sainte-Genviève, as "adulescentulus"
then, max. age 25!] in the monastery of St. Martin-des-Champs at Paris,
became a Benedictine, and in 1150 [not 1150, but between 1139 and 1145] was
made Abbot of La Celle [better: Montier-la-Celle] near Troyes, whence his
surname, Cellensis [not sure, perhaps from La Celle-sous-Chantemerle, north
of Romilly-sur-Seine]. In 1162 he was appointed Abbot of St. Rémy at Reims,
and in 1181 he succeeded John of Salisbury as Bishop of Chartres. [Perhaps
should be mentioned here, that G. - Galterius de Pinserais or Goslenus -,
archdeacon of Chartres, was his relative (see Peter of Celle, letter 178 ed.
Haseldine)] He was highly esteemed by men like John of Salisbury, Thomas à
Becket, Archbishop Eskil, Eugene III, and especially Alexander III. His
literary productions were edited by Janvier (Paris, 1671) and reprinted in
P.L., CCII, 405-1146. They consist of 177 epistles, 95 sermons, and 4
treatises entitled: etc.
Some newer editions:
Martel, Gérard de, Petri Cellensis, Commentaria in Ruth, Tractatus de
Tabernaculo, CCM liv, Turnhout 1983
Martel, Gérard de, Pierre de Celle à Reims, in Mémoires de la Société
d'agriculture, commerce, sciences et arts du département de la Marne,
lxxxiv, 1974, 71-105
Martel, Gérard de, L'école du cloître, Paris 1977
Haseldine, J., The letters of Peter of Celle, Oxford 2001
I hope, you are not angry about these suggestions. On my side, I am very
grateful if you, or another member of this list, call attention to faults
and errors on my own webpage. Nobody and nothing is perfect.
Best, Werner
