The personal letters of Abelard and Heloise are well known and widely available. This volume presents 12 other much less famous letters of Peter Abelard, which afford insight into his thinking over a much longer sweep of time and offers snapshots of the great twelfth-century philosopher and theologian in a variety of contexts. One group shows him engaging with Heloise and nuns of the Paraclete, another with Bernard of Clairvaux, and a third with four entirely different addressees on four entirely different topics.
