Description

Explore a unique window into the early twelfth century with The Letter Collections of Nicholas of Clairvaux from the Oxford Medieval Texts series. This volume brings together at least two letter collections written by a man who lived a life of significant controversy. Starting his career as a Benedictine, Nicholas eventually served as the secretary to St Bernard at Clairvaux. His reputation as the 'black sheep of the Cistercian order' stems from his expulsion following charges of fraudulent letter writing. This scholarly edition provides much more than just historical text. It includes facing-English translations and detailed scholarly commentary to help readers navigate the complex historical context. The letters are highly valuable for researchers and students because they offer direct proximity to historical events of the era. By studying these writings, you gain direct insights into the social and religious landscape of the twelfth century through the eyes of a writer who was deeply embedded in the monastic world.
