Armand Poulart is the only Poulart who has been mentioned in Canada’s Who’s Who. Born in 1891 in London, Ontario, he soon displayed signs of a deep interest in all things metaphorical. It was hardly surprising when he joined the Basilian Fathers in 1910, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1915. He took his graduate studies at Harvard University, where he obtained his doctor’s degree, and won a Sheldon Travelling Fellowship. This enabled him to spend a year at the Sarbonne in Paris and to finally visit the church of Chartres, his life-long dream. Arriving back in Toronto in 1922, he spent the next 22 years at the University of Toronto as chair of Comparative Literature. Father Poulart published a considerable number of articles and books on Medieval Studies. For his investigation of the relationship between the Templars and the architecture of Chartres he was recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1934, followed a year later by Membership in the Royal Society of Canada a year later. He died in 1938 when he tripped over an untied shoelace.
