I have plans for Bernard's sermons on the Missus Est; here's what else I turned up.

• Writings of St. Louis Marie de Montfort
• St Bernard's Advent and Christmas sermons (including the sermons on the "Missus Est"); also see Marco Binetti's St Bernard etexts from the Patrologia Latina (PL 182-185)
• James Cotter Morison's biography of St Bernard
• the same from Don Mabillon, volume 1 and volume 2.
• Dalgairns' life of St Stephen Harding, founder of the Cistercians
• Legends of the Monastic Orders as Represented in the Fine Arts

With an Explanation of Their Corresponding Types in the Old Testament. A Preservative Against Unbelief. Rev. Henry Formby, of the Third Order of St Dominic.
