Editing Adam of Balsham (section)

==Life==
Adam was born in [[Balsham]], near [[Cambridge]], England. He studied with [[Peter Lombard]] at the [[University of Paris]]. He later taught in Paris, teaching [[John of Salisbury]] and [[William of Tyre]]. Further, he may have been a contemporary of Rainald of Dassel (c. 1120&nbsp;– 14 August 1167) there. Gabriel Nuchelmans surmises that he may have been the first person to introduce the term ''enuntiabile'', which came to be used in the same sense as [[dictum]].<ref>Nuchelmans, p. 169.</ref>

Many sources have surmised that Adam of Balsham and [[Adam, Bishop of St Asaph]] (or Adam the Welshman) are the same person, but [[Raymond Klibansky]] concludes that they were two different men.<ref name=Klibansky/>

The Petit-Pont attached to Adam's name and which crosses the Seine linking the west front of [[Notre-Dame Cathedral]] in Paris (and the site of a former bishop's palace) to the [[Rive Gauche|Left Bank]] St Michel area would have been the main centre of Adam's intellectual group (it was renamed in 2013 with the addition of the name of [[Cardinal Lustiger]]: 'Petit-Pont Cardinal Lustiger').
