It is believed that he lived from 1085 to 1178; the only certain date in his life is 1147, when the Cosmographia was supposedly presented to Pope Eugene III. Other sources place the writing of the Cosmographia sometime between 1143 and 1148. It seems likely that he was born in Tours, due to the intimate descriptions of the city and the surrounding area found in the Cosmographia. Later medieval authors also associated him with that city. Wherever he was born, he certainly studied and taught at Tours in the humanities department. He has been often confused with Bernard of Chartres) Repenser l'Énéide, 2022: title page (Bernard Silvestre) |
