The book describes in vivid and concrete terms what it meant in the 12th century to be a famous scientist, the master of Latin, logic, and philosophy, a dedicated monk and pioneer of the discipline of theology, and at various times a wandering scholar, courtier, and jester. Contemporaries called Abelard the Socrates of France and our Aristotle. The author's many new findings includethe discovery that it was Heloise who inspired many of Abelard's most profound ideas -- she educated him -- although it has been commonly held that it was the other way around.This text introduces the reader to medieval life through the experience of Peter Abelard. The author describes what it meant in the 12th century to be a famous scientist, then a dedicated monk and pioneer of the discipline of theology, and yet one who was at various times a courtier and jester.
