1920 PARIS AND CHARTRES, 1136-1146 337 Adam of the Petit Pont Peter Lombard Ivo, Peter Helias Bernard Reynold Robert of Melun Manerius Bartholomew Robert PuUus Heloissa and Abailard Inter hos et alios in parte remota Parvi pontis incola, non loquor ignota, disputabat digitis directis in jota, et quaecumque dixerat erant per se nota. Celebrem theologum vidimus Lumbardura, ^ cum Yvone, Helyam ^ Petrum, et Bernard um quorum opobalsamum spirat os et nardum et professi plurimi sunt Abaielardum. Keginaldus monachus clamose contendit et obliquis singulos verbis comprehendit ; hos et hos redarguit, nee in se descendit, qui nostrum Porphyrium laqueo suspendifc. Robertus theologus corde vivens mundo adest, et Manerius quern nullis secundo ; alto loquens spiritu et ore profundo, quo quidem subtilior nullus est in mundo. Hinc et Bartholomaeus faciem acutus, retor, dialecticus, sermone astutus ; et Robertus Amiclas simile secutus, cum hiis quos praetereo, populus minutus. Nupta quaerit ubi sit suus Palatinus, cuius totus extitit spiritus divinus ; quaerit cur se subtrabat quasi peregrinus, quem ad sua ubera foverat et sinus. Clamant a philosopho plures ^ educati, cucullatus populi primas cucullati, et, ut cepe, tunicis tribus tunicati, imponi silencium fecit tanto vati. Grex est hie nequicie, grex perdicionis, impius et pessimus teres Pharaonis, speciem exterius dans religionis, sed subest scintillula superstitionis.* The names included in this most interesting assembly were identified at random by the editor, Thomas Wright ; but they have almost all been assigned to the proper persons by Haureau.^ They include all the masters mentioned by John of Salisbury, except Alberic and Hardwin who belong to his earliest period, the two Chartres masters William of Conches and Richard I'Eveque, and Simon of Poissy who comes at the end of John's list. It is particularly interesting that the poem mentions Abailard, for the fact that he was once more on Mount St. Gene- vieve in 1139 was entirely unknown until John of Salisbury's Historia Pontificalis was discovered (though its authorship was not yet divined) and published in 1868.^ The dream, therefore. > col. 2.
