About the Book
'Marenbon and Orlandi's superb new book in the Oxford Medieval Texts series is a critical edition with annotated translation of one of Abelard's most intriguing works.' -The Heythrop Journal'A comprehensive and clear edition and translation, with a decent introduction, bibliography, notes and indices... The editors work hard at explaining the nuances of the philosophical arguments in the notes to the text, and they do this well.' -Journal of Theological Studies'The English-reading public has reason to be grateful for this elegantly translated, fully annotated and carefully introduced edition of a work that has up till now perhaps received less attention than its due.' -English Historical ReviewPeter Abelard (1079-1142) was one of the most influential writers and thinkers of the twelfth century, famed for his skill in logic as well as his romance with Heloise. His Collationes - or Dialogue between a Christian, a Philosopher, and a Jew - is remarkable for the boldness of its conception and thought.
