When Bernard of Clairvaux died in 1153, he had reached only the first four verses of chapter three of the Canticle in his eighty-four sermons. It was Gilbert who took up his unfinished task. Gilbert died without completing the task so it was completed by John of Ford, a contemporary English abbot. Gilbert's contribution has been published in three volumes, of which this is the third in the set.
