| A fourteenth century manuscript with considerable water damage and the binding missing has a half-figure of a nimbed and bearded Bernard in a white cowl carrying a book in his left hand within the initial V(obis fratres) - the opening of Sermon 1 on the Song of Songs. The text in red above reads: 'Incipit expositio devotissimi doctoris bti B'nardi abb'is clarevall'si sp catica caticoru. Sermo primus' |
