What it is
A refutation of Roscelin's claim that if the three persons are one thing then all three became incarnate, turning on what it means for a universal to be real.
Why it lasted
The opening engagement of the medieval problem of universals, fought out over the doctrine of the Trinity.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
