Abstract

Bernard of Clairvaux between Cult and History summarizes Bredero's lifelong study of Bernard, the Cistercian monk who was arguably the most influential ecclesiastical figure of the twelfth century and who remains one of the church's most venerated saints. This volume, which Bredero himself calls his "final report of a long investigation," does not pretend to offer yet another biography of Bernard. Rather, it paves the way for future biographical scholarship by pointing out - and often suggesting resolutions to - the many problems that beset this field of inquiry. Toward this end, Bredero deals care fully with three key areas in the field of Bernard studies. First, he examines the textual problems surrounding the earliest hagiography of Bernard, in particular the vita prima, and the relationship between the authors of this work and Bernard. Second, Bredero evaluates Bernard as he has been discussed in historiography and literature. Third, he deals with the question of how Bernard ought to be viewed in his own historical context, his actions during his "earthly" life. For Bredero, the "chimera" nature of Bernard the man derives from a disjunction between "history" and "cult," between Bernard as historical actor and Bernard as object of cult. This volume will be invaluable to anyone interested in these parallel strains of fact and legend and particularly so to those who would attempt to reconcile them

Abstract

Bernard de Clairvaux, un saint, un théologien, un spirituel, une figure incontournable. Mais ce reclus était aussi engagé dans le siècle. Sa Vie est une autre manière de le rencontrer. Une vie qui peut se transformer en enseignement spirituel. La première Vie de saint Bernard comprend cinq livres, écrits à plusieurs mains : Geoffroy d'Auxerre est l'auteur des livres ? III-V. Il met l'accent sur la vie de Bernard en dehors de son monastère et de son ordre, justifiant ses sorties et ses engagements par l'obéissance du saint aux injonctions du pape, des abbés de son ordre ou d'autres prélats.Il sait éclairer les sujets les plus délicats : la prédication de la seconde croisade ; les démêlés de Bernard avec Pierre Abélard et Gilbert de la Porrée ; son implication enfin dans la lutte contre le prédicateur hérétique Henri de Lausanne. Geoffroy a enrichi la figure de Bernard et sa sainteté d'une nouvelle dimension : ce moine peut prétendre au rang de saint in medio ecclesiae, par son enseignement doctrinal et par son engagement dans la vie ecclésiale.Geoffroy a su mesurer, en toute sa portée, l'influence de Bernard sur l'Eglise et la société de son époque. Cette présentation se révélera déterminante pour l'issue positive du procès de canonisation.

Abstract

The First Life of Bernard of Clairvaux, traditionally known as the Vita Prima, originated to prepare the case for canonization of Bernard, first abbot of Cairvaux. The work was begun by William of Saint-Thierry, continued by Arnold of Bonneval, and completed by Geoffrey of Auxerre. When the initial case put forth for Bernard was rejected by Innocent II, Geoffrey undertook a revision of the original vita (Recension A) and submitted another version (Recension B) to Pope Alexander III, who declared Bernard a saint in 1174. This work emphasizes the deep love in which Bernard was held during his life by his monks and the people of France and Italy as well as his role as a powerful public figure. This book contains the first English translation of Recension B, drawn from what is apparently the only manuscript of the work found today in a Cistercian monastery, Mount Saint Bernard Abbey. The introduction begins with the story of how this manuscript came to Mount Saint Bernard, so fixing this translation of the Vita Prima within Cistercian life from the twelfth century to today.
