Inscriptions

Les restes d'Héloïse et d'Abélard sont réunis dans ce tombeau.
Les restes d'Héloïse et d'Abélard ont été transporté dans ce lieu l'an MDCCCXIX

Pierre Abailard, fondateur de cette abbaye vivoit dans le douzième siècle, il se distingua par la profondeur de son sçavoir et par la rareté de son mérite. Cependant il publia un traité de la trinité qui fut condamné par un concile tenu à Soissons en 1120.
Il se rétracta aussitôt par une soumission parfaite et pour témoigner qu'il n'avoit que des sentimens orthodoxes il fit faire de cette seule pierre ces trois figures qui représentent les trois personnes divines dans une nature, après avoir consacré cette église au saint esprit qu'il nomma paraclet par rapport aux consolations qu'il avoit goutées pendant la retraite qu'il fit en ce lieu.
Il avoit épouse Héloyse qui en fut la première abbesse. L'amour qui avoit uni leurs esprits durant leur vie et qui se conserva pendant leur absence par des lettres les plus tendres et les plus spirituelles a réuni leurs corps dans ce tombeau. Il mourut le 21 avril l'an 1143, agé de 63 ans, après avoir donné l'un et l'autre des marques d'une vie chrétienne et spirituelle.
Par très haute et très puissante dame Catherine de la Rochefoucauld abbesse. Le 3 juin 1701.
