Abelard, Peter (Pierre) Historia Calamitatum: The Story of My Misfortunes
Saint Paul, Minnesota Thomas A. Boyd 1922 Hardcover
8vo - 24 x 16 cm.; [10] - xxi - [5] - 96 pp. Paper covered boards, a light tan in colour with dark brown lettering and decorations on front and back. The original papered spine has been professionaly redone with a black cloth spine replacing the paper and being tipped in under the board papers on both front and back. The hinges have been repaired and strengthened also. An un-numbered copy from the limited run of 1,250 (perhaps should say 1250+). The translation used is that of Henry Adams Bellows with an introduction by Ralph Adams Cram. The pugnacious stance of Abelard shines through this most readable document, giving a valuable account of the intellectual ferment of the period and the nature of monastic life of those times. Particularly intriguing as this French intellectual life was just prior to the formalization of the concept of a university. Overlaying all of this is of course, one of the great love stories of the western world which ended with both Peter and Heloise being buried side by side in the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris. The covers are soiled with some material loss of the paper on the front fore edge margin. The text block edges (rough cut) are age darkened. The text paper used is a cream coloured woven paper and retains all if its warm toning, colour and suppleness. I should mention that an appendix is present (page 81 to 96) containing short biographical notes on the main personages mentioned by Abelard or referred to by him in the text. A clear archival slip cover has been fitted. One final note is that this edition was reissued by Macmillan of New York in 1972 with no notification of copyright renewal. 11719
