medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hello, Marjorie,
Then there is Abelard's own autobiographical book, "The Story of My
Misfortune," or some such title. We must consider both the psycho-social
and likely hormonal effects of the butchered castration.
And while you are studying Abelard, one interesting aspect of his life is
the kindness shown him in his last year by Peter the Venerable, who took
him in though he was under Papal displeasure and had been spurned by
Bernard of Clairvaux. I have always wondered at Bernard for this lack of
charity and wondered why he was canonized and Peter not.
