Reviews

Sans doute comprendra-t-on mieux la spiritualite et les intentions de Guibert de Gembloux si on s'en refere non seulement a sa correspondance et la Vita en prose tardive (1250 et apres 1212), mais aussi a ses oeuvres en vers ou il se decouvre plus naturellement. Cette edition vient donc a son heure pour achever le portrait de ce grand moine et abbe qui voulut marcher et inviter a marcher sur les traces du patriarche Martin de Tours . P.M. Bogaert, in Revue benedictine, vol. 2 (2020).
