A Commentary On The Cistercian Hymnal
It is well known that St Bernard in 1147 revised the monastic hymnal for the use of his Cistercian monks; the anonymous "Explanatio" is primary evidence for the content of Bernard's hymnal. This title presents a commentary that is based on a manuscript written at Clairvaux in the late 12th century.
