Title : Il topos misogino del "poculum mortis" nell' "Ecloga Theoduli" e i suoi esiti in Pietro Abelardo [the "Ecloga" written in a Virgilian style by a Carolingian monk awards victory to Christian truth in a dispute with falsehood; this text blames Eve for Adam's Fall because she tempted him to sin; this is described in terms of poisoning, a crime associated with women in the classical tradition; this image was transmitted through literary sources to Marbod of Rennes and Peter Abelard].
