Note on the Translation My translation of the vita is based on the version edited by Godefroy Henskens in the Acta Sanctorum. The Latin texts of the Sermon, Prayer to Blessed Bernard, and Synopsis of the Life of Holy Bernard, Abbot of Tiron Abbey, are published in Bernard Beck, Saint-Bernard de Tiron, termite, Ie moine et Ie monde (Cormel1es-Ie-Royal: La Mandragore, 1998). The Latin biblical citations, which Geoffrey quoted from memory, are located in F. P. Dutripon, Bibliorum Sacrorum Concordantiae (Hildesheim: Georg alms, 1986), reprint of Vulgatae Editionis Bibliorum Sacrorum Concordantiae, 8th ed. (Paris: Bloud et Barral, 1880); and in Roger Gryson, ed., Biblia Sacra juxta Vulgatam Versionem (Stuttgart : Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 1969, 1994).
