Abstract

William of Saint-Thierry was one of several mystical theologians who lived about the time of St. Bernard. He was born at Liege, France, about the year 1090 of noble parentage. Little is known of his childhood, but it seems that after the manner of those days, he had gone forth in the company of another youth, known to us only as Simon, a close friend of William, to seek education under a certain Anselm of Laon, who, as Andre Adam says, had attracted many students to his side.
