St.
Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
Founder of the monastery at Clairvaux, France, which became one of the centers of the Cistercian Order
Clairvaux’s proto-Humanistic writings were widely read in his own time and later, by monks and laymen alike, and after the Reformation, by both Protestants and Catholics. He was canonized in 1174.
