text: Sept. 1-30. Biblium. Vassalus Bibliensis episcopus writes to the abbot and community of La Ferté, reporting that their brothers, frater Andreas and frater Egidius, on a visit to Syria, have had discussions with him over the building of a Cistercian abbey, on which work has already begun. Because there are so few Cistercians in the East, he retained frater Egidius to inspect the work and judge that it was satisfactory. Frater Egidius is now returning to the West. Vassalus informs the abbot of La Ferté that the abbey of Sanctus Sergius has been endowed with a house in the city [of Biblium], 2 casalia, a garden, vineyards and olive groves.
