St. Bernard of Clairvaux

This book is in Portuguese.

Bernard’s answers to the monks of Saint-Père at Chartres on the Rule of Saint Benedict: what binds as a precept, what a superior may dispense, and the vow of obedience, with Mabillon’s admonitio. Latin only, from the Maurist text in Migne, a machine-corrected OCR.

Source: The complete text with Mabillon’s admonitio, chapter headings and summaries. PL page breaks and column numbers are dropped, and so are the paragraph numbers; Scripture references stay in parentheses as printed.
