Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lives of the English Saints, Vol. 6 of 6 The sources for the life of St. Edmund, though not copious, are of peculiar value and authority, having been written by persons intimately acquainted with him, and that within six years after his death. i. B. A Life by Bertrand, one of the archbishop´s attendant clerks, and faithfully attached to him. He was spoken of by Archbishop Albert as "discipulus quem diligebat pater Edmundus, et secretorum ejus conscius." After the archbishop´s death, he entered the Cistercian order at Pontigny, of which he became prior in 1249. The most complete copy of this Life is that printed, from a copy taken of the original once at Pontigny, in Martene and Durand, Thesaurus Anecdotorum, vol. iii. Besides the writer´s own means of information, it contains all the particulars furnished by the testimonials which were sent in during the inquiry preceding the canonisation. The writer speaks of himself as relating "the things which he had heard and seen." This Life with considerable variation of language, and with some slight additional facts, is found in three Cotton MSS: Cleop. B. i., Faust. B. i., Jul. D. vi., in a Lambeth MS. (No. 135), in Surius (Nov. 16), in Vincent of Beauvais (Speculum Histor.), in John of Tinmouth (MS. in Lambeth Library), and in a Bodleian MS. (Fell 3).
