Inhaltsangabe:

The Trappist abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Kentucky (the house of Thomas Merton) owns the eclectic Dom Edmond Obrecht Collection of manuscripts, which contains not only medieval manuscripts but materials of interest for the study of the French Revolution. Most items are of Cistercian origin, but other monastic traditions are represented as well. Produced between 1140-1960, the collection was brought to the USA during the first part of the twentieth century. This catalogue is the first and only full codicological description of these manuscripts.

She is currently the Cistercian Studies and Rare Book and Special Collections Librarian at Western Michigan University. E. Rozanne Elder was the director of the Institute of Cistercian Studies and Editorial Director of Cistercian Publications until 2008, when she returned to teaching.
