EXPLICIT

...de cuius consortio ipse Petrus coelesti laetatur in curia. In qua cum tam ipse quam caeteri apostoli omnium gaudeant felicitate iustorum, maxime tamen Augustini, qui perfectus fuit imitator eorum, cum quibus in Deo, de Deo vivit et vivet in saecula saeculorum.

He was prior of the abbey of Bonne-Espérance (OPraem) c.1130. A dispute with Bernard of Clairvaux forced his to move to another abbey (which is not exactly known). He returned after about two years (about 1151). At the end of 1156 or in 1157 he became the abbot, and at the end of 1182 he resigned from his functions as an abbot and died in april 1183.-Status author (order, function): Premonstratensian Canons (OPraem)
