The Life of St. Malachy of Armagh

St. Bernard of Clairvaux

H. J. Lawlor’s English translation (SPCK, 1920) of Bernard’s Life of his friend Malachy, archbishop of Armagh, who died at Clairvaux in 1148: the preface (Bernard’s prologue to Abbot Congan) and the eight chapters, with Lawlor’s footnotes. Lawlor’s own chapter division follows the modern critical text and differs from the finer Maurist capitula of the Latin book, so the Latin is a separate book of the same work.

Contents

Source: Bernard’s Life only: the preface and chapters I-VIII with the footnotes after each; Bernard’s section numbers are dropped. Lawlor’s long introduction, the translation of Bernard’s letters and sermons on Malachy and the appendices are not imported; the marginal dates are dropped.
