ABSTRACT
Three volumes : 1) Short description of Yvo's descent and his journey to the west (BHL 4621); 2) life, dead and inventio in Slepe (St Yves) and description of Yvo's miracles (BHL 4622); translation from Slepe to Ramsey in 1001; 3) translation of Yvo's socii to Slepe and information on his miracles (particulary after 1100). Goscelinus' authorship remains a controversial point with reference to the first and third volumes.
