Around 1147 the bishop of Chartres directed Geoffrey Grossus, a monk of Tiron Abbey, to write the life of its founder Bernard of Abbeville (ca 1050-1116) in an effort to further his canonization. This work presents an erudite, action-filled, and sympathetic portrait of the ascetic founder of an increasingly prominent and wealthy congregation.
