Summary

This volume of Bernard de Clairvaux's letters (92–163) reveals his pivotal role in European affairs during the 1130s, particularly during the papal schism following Honorius II's death. It highlights his extensive correspondence on monastic issues, vocations, and spiritual guidance for nuns and laywomen, alongside political and ecclesiastical matters. The elegant Latin-French translation provides insights into Bernard's influence on both religious and secular domains, supported by a detailed introduction, chronology, and thematic grouping of letters. This volume deepens our understanding of medieval monastic leadership and its intersection with broader historical events.
