Klappentext zu „The Letter Collections of Nicholas of Clairvaux “
Nicholas of Clairvaux started his career as a Benedictine but ended up at Clairvaux where he was the secretary of St Bernard. He later became known as 'the black sheep of the Cistercian order' and was expelled from Clairvaux on a charge of fraudulent letter writing. During his life he was responsible for at least two letter collections, which are contained within this volume, with facing-English translation and scholarly commentary. The letters are of great scholarly interest not only for the writer's proximity to historical events in the early twelfth-century, but also for the insights he provides into monastic culture.

Pressezitat
In short, we have here well-presented and carefully executed critical editions of Nicholas's two letter collections. The quality of the Introduction and meticulous care of the editions are exemplary. They provide readers with a fuller and more accurate picture of Nicholas, who, in spite of everything, ended his days respectably as a prior of a Benedictine house. More importantly, they shed light on several important monasteries and on several important monastic figures of the mid-twelfth century. Fr. Elias Dietz, Abbey of Gethsemani, Cistercian Studies Quarterly
