Use dmy dates date September 2011 Arnulf of Leuven c. 1200 1250 was the abbot of the Cistercian abbey in Villers la Ville . After serving in this office for ten years, he abdicated, hoping to pursue a life devoted to study and asceticism. He died within a year. Little else is known. Work He compiled the first volume of the annals of the Villers Abbey 1146 1240 . However, his primary significance is as a poet. His Excerptum Speculi Caritatis is a verse adaptation of the Summa Causum of Raymond of Pe afort . Arnulf is also the probable author of the Membra Jesu Nostri , a cycle of seven poems, each a meditation on one of the wounds of the crucified Christ. In the 17th century, Paul Gerhardt wrote an adaptation in German, which became O Sacred Head, Now Wounded in English. These poems were ascribed to Bernard of Clairvaux , for they are consistent with his spirituality. However, the external proof for this ascription is so slight as to be negligible Hurlbut, VII, 18 . The Membra Jesu Nostri did appear in Bernard s collected works, but only beginning two hundred years after his death. When the monasteries were suppressed in the French Revolution , all of the relevant manuscripts disappeared. The true authorship of the Membra Jesu Nostri will remain a mystery.
