The texts around which we have organized this volume represent only part of Abelard’s larger corpus. For the sake of completeness, we list here alphabetically all of Abelard’s known surviving works, including direct reports of his teaching. For each item, we include the Latin title, followed by an English translation or description of that title, and (wherever appropriate) the abbreviation used for it in this volume. We also list the standard – in some cases the only – available Latin editions and English translations of Abelard’s works, together with any other editions referred to by our contributors.
