Description
Summary:The article provides a new edition and an historical assessment of the anonymous epigram Cultello tetro rapuit pendentia retro (WIC 3541) that describes how Peter Abaelard had been mutilated and is now lying on his bed, having lost his “dactylus”. This epigram forms part of a small collection of poems of Hildebert of Lavardin and Petrus Pictor that is preserved in Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. 13584, fol. 40v-43r. Though the manuscript dates from the fifteenth century, the collection itself may have been assembled shortly after Abaelard’s castration in 1118.
