Sainte-Geneviève Convent - Sainte-Geneviève Convent (English name)

Japanese: サント・ジュヌビエーブ修道院 - サントジュヌビエーブしゅうどういん(英語表記)Abbaye de Sainte‐Geneviève
Sainte-Geneviève Convent - Sainte-Geneviève Convent (English name)
A monastery built in the 6th century on the left bank of the Seine in Paris, near where the Lycée Henry IV is now located. It was dedicated to Geneviève, who was made patron saint of Paris for saving the city from the attack of the Huns led by Attila in 451. The surrounding area is still called "Mont Sainte-Geneviève" after the monastery's name. It fell into decline for a time, but was restored by the chapters of the cathedral in the 11th century, and became an important center of learning from the beginning of the 12th century. Many students gathered here, especially after Abelard taught there, and it produced some of the leading intellectuals of the time, such as John of Salisbury, Arnold of Brescia, and Maenerius.

パリのセーヌ川左岸,現在アンリ4世高等中学校(リセ)のある付近に6世紀に建てられた修道院。451年アッティラの率いるフン族の攻撃からパリを救ったことでパリの守護聖女とされたジュヌビエーブに奉献された。付近一帯はこの修道院名にちなんでいまも〈サント・ジュヌビエーブの丘〉と呼ばれている。一時衰微するが,11世紀に聖堂参事会の手で復興し,12世紀初頭からは学問の重要な中心となり,特にアベラールがここで教鞭をとってから多くの学生が集まるようになり,そのなかからソールズベリーのヨハネス,ブレシアのアルノルドゥス,マイネリウスなど当代一流の知識人を輩出させた。
