Acknowledgments for the English Edition
For the English translation of our book, we would like to express our gratitude to Kate Matthams Spencer for her work. We would also like to thank Professor Orin Gensler for his careful proofreading, as well as the Brill reviewers for their suggestions to improve our text. Indeed, this translation work gave us an opportunity to make some changes and minor corrections to the French version and to add some references to secondary literature, which would guide the reader to further information. We also thank Erika Mandarino, Brill Associate Editor, for her support throughout the editorial process.
Kate Matthams Spencer would like to thank David, Brenda and John. Warm thanks also, to Julie, without whom she would not have had the opportunity to learn the story of the monks on the roof.
