Overview
The "Historia Calamitatum" was written while Ab#65533;lard was still abbot of the monastery of St. Gildas, in Brittany. The terrors of his existence there are fully dwelt on in his autobiographical letter, and finally, in 1134 or 1135, he fled, living for a short time in retirement. In 1136, however, we find him once more lecturing, and apparently with much of his former success, on Mont Ste. Genevi#65533;ve. His old enemies were still on his trail, and most of all Bernard of Clairvaux, to whose fiery adherence to the faith Ab#65533;lard's rationalism seemed a sheer desecration. The unceasing activities of Bernard and others finally brought Ab#65533;lard before an ecclesiastical council at Sens in 1140, where he was formally arraigned on charges of heresy. Had Ab#65533;lard's courage held good, he might have won his case, for Bernard was frankly terrified at the prospect of meeting so formidable a dialectitian, but Ab#65533;lard, broken in spirit by the prolonged persecution from which he had suffered, contented himself with appealing to the Pope. The indefatigable Bernard at once proceeded to secure a condemnation of Ab#65533;lard from Rome, whither the accused man set out to plead his case. On the way, however, he collapsed, both physically and in spirit, and remained for a few months at the abbey of Cluny, whence his friends removed him, a dying man, to the priory of St. Marcel, near Ch#65533;lons-sur-Sa#65533;ne. Here he died on April 21, 1142.
