After studying under See also:Anselm of See also:Laon and See also:Roscellinus, he taught in the school of the See also:cathedral of Notre See also:Dame, of which he was made See also:canon in 1103. Among his pupils was See also:Abelard. In i io8 he retired into the See also:abbey of St See also:Victor, where he resumed his lectures. He afterwards became See also:bishop of Chalons-sur-See also:Marne, and took See also:part in the dispute concerning investitures as a supporter of See also:Calixtus II., whom he represented at the See also:conference of Mousson. His only printed See also:works are a fragment on the See also:Eucharist (inserted by See also:Jean See also:Mabillon in his edition of the works of St See also:Bernard), and the Moralia Abbreviata and De Origine Animae (in'E. Martene's See also:Thesaurus novas Anecdotorum, 1717, vol. 5). In the last of these he maintains that See also:children who See also:die unbaptized must be lost, the pure soul being defiled by the grossness of the See also:body, and declares that See also:God's will is not to be questioned. He upholds the theory of Creatianism (that a soul is specially created for each human being). Ravaisson-See also:Mollien has discovered a number of fragments by him, among which the most important is the De Essentia Dei et de Substantia Dei; a See also:Liber Sententiarum, consisting of discussions on See also:ethics and Scriptural See also:- INTERPRETATION (from Lat. interpretari, to expound, explain, inter pres, an agent, go-between, interpreter; inter, between, and the root pret-, possibly connected with that seen either in Greek 4 p4'ew, to speak, or irpa-rrecv, to do)
