		In Rancé’s centennial year, 2000, Oxford scholar Alban Krailsheimer kindly selected a dozen of the above mini-biographies to be translated by Fr John Baptist Hasbrouck. He had completed nine of these translations before being laid low by a stroke. Four of the nine have been further edited, and one of the remaining three, the first English-speaking Trappist to die, called for further research. The existing draft has been submitted to Cistercian Publications, but in the meantime we are happy to forward electronic copies to any who ask.
