Opera Omnia VI

Aelred's historical and hagiographical production, which makes him a rather unique personality in the Cistercian panorama of the first generation, is receiveing a growing attention, hampered so far by the lack of a reliable critical edition of these works. Here for the first time these texts are edited from a collation of the earlier and best manuscripts, accompanied by a biblical and a critical apparatus, each introduced by a concise introduction, mainly devoted to the illustration of the manuscript tradition.
