ABSTRACT
Continuation of Folcuinus' (645-662) Gesta of the abbots of St Bertin's abbey (OSB). The author can't give information about the late 10th century and the early 11th century (6 abbots). The first book deals with four abbots (1021-1095), the second book covers 1095-1131 and the third book discusses the early years of his successor Leo (1137-1145). His own period is not dealt with, but has been discussed afterwards.
