ADAM OF PETIT PONT. - A native of the county of Cambridge, but so called from the quarter of Paris in which, after studying at the school of Matthew of Angers and Peter Lombard, he held highly successful courses in dialectic and grammar. He later moved to the cathedral school, and in the Trinitarian controversies stirred up by Gilbert de la Porrée he took a position against him. Appointed bishop of St. Asaph, he took part in the Third Lateran Council (1179), at which through his influence he succeeded in averting the condemnation of an incriminated proposition of Peter Lombard. He died on 6 August 1181.
He wrote De arte dialectica, in which traces of terminism are found and of which Cousin published some extracts (Fragm. phil., II, Paris 1865, pp. 385-90), and De Utensilibus ad domum regendam, important for knowledge of medieval vocabulary, reissued by Hauréau in 1891. Cornelio Fabro
