The author does not think it necessary to offer any apology for having written a life of Abélard. The intense dramatic interest of his life is known from a number of brief notices and sketches, but English readers have no complete presentation of the facts of that remarkable career in our own tongue.

Perhaps one who has also had a monastic, scholastic, and ecclesiastical experience may approach the task with a certain confidence. Less
