Summary: "Fifty years after the death of Bernard of Clairvaux, Alan of Lille died in 1202 or 1203 among the Cistercians at Cîteaux. Celebrated in his own time as doctor universalis, Alan made pioneering contributions in a variety of genres. Translated here in its entirety for the first time, Alan's Elucidatio in Cantica Canticorum illumines his other writings and provides a measure for the originality of his Mariology"--Provided by publisher
