On Contemplating God by William of St. Thierry (Irish University Press £4.00)
ADMIRABLY translated by Sr. Penelope, the latest addition to the Cistercian Fathers series draws on the literary life work of Dom J. Dechanet, O.S.B., to which is added research by his colleague Dom J. Hourlier, who contributes the Introduction.
The opening paragraphs to the selected bibliography are of a piece with the scholarly presentation of the text. One can picture the approval and quiet content of the Venerable Bede at the publication of work prepared by these scholar brethren of his.
