EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts the renowned French philosopher, theologian, and logician, Peter Abelard (1079-1142). Abelard was a leading figure of the medieval scholastic philosophy, known for his innovative ideas and groundbreaking contributions to logic and theology. He is shown here wearing the typical attire of the 12th century, with a simple tunic and a cloak draped over his shoulders. Born in Le Palais, Brittany, Abelard began his academic career as a wandering scholar, traveling from one school to another to learn and teach. He eventually settled in Paris, where he established a school of his own, attracting a large number of students. Abelard's most famous student was Heloise, with whom he had an affair and later had a son. Their correspondence, which included letters exchanged between them, is a testament to their deep intellectual and emotional connection. Abelard's most significant works include "Logica Ingredientibus," a comprehensive textbook on logic, and "Sic et Non," a collection of contradictory statements that challenged scholars to resolve the apparent contradictions. Abelard's innovative approach to logic and theology, which emphasized the importance of reason and the use of dialectic, influenced many later philosophers, including Thomas Aquinas. This print, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the book "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," published in Paris in 1834, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the medieval world and the time of Peter Abelard, a true giant of Western thought.
