The Life of Blessed Bernard of Tiron

The Life of Blessed Bernard of Tiron

by Geoffrey Grossus (Author), Ruth Harwood Cline (Translator)

Synopsis

Around 1147 the bishop of Chartres directed Geoffrey Grossus, a monk of Tiron Abbey, to write the life of its founder Bernard of Abbeville (ca 1050-1116) in an effort to further his canonization. This work presents an erudite, action-filled, and sympathetic portrait of the ascetic founder of an increasingly prominent and wealthy congregation.
