Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a diverse selection of the writings of Bernard of Cluny, a Benedictine monk and acclaimed medieval poet. The centerpiece is his De contemptu mundi or On Scorn of the World, a lengthy poem exploring the wickedness of humankind and the virtues of the monastic life. The author rails against the corruption of the world and its inhabitants with fire and brimstone, while reserving the highest praise for those who renounce its vanities and worldly pleasures for the simple life of prayer and worship. In addition to this satirical masterpiece, the book includes other works attributed to Bernard, such as the Golden Booklet on the vanity of life and the joys of heaven, a poem on the Divine Essence, lines on the Dread Judgment of God, and a sermon on the Parable of the Unjust Steward. These writings offer a comprehensive view of Bernard of Cluny's beliefs and his complex and often contradictory views on the nature of humanity and the path to salvation.
