点评:Jerpoint is one of the most magnificent remain of a Cistercian Abbey to be found in the whole of Ireland. It is a wonderful specimen of Hiberno/ Romanesque and early Norman styles of architecture. Founded in 1180 by Felix O'Dullany, a member of a local clan, renowned for his sanctity, he is buried in Jerpoint. Despite its troubles, Jerpoint flourished. The tower and cloister certainly belong to the 15th century, indicating a time when money, men, time and talent were abundantly present and veering away from the austerity Bernard of Clairvaux desired for his monks. The Irish monks, as it was only born and bred Gaels that resided at Jerpoint, delighted in their creations. You can feel it, still, it is the monks of bygone days giving Glory to God, rejoicing in life by doing their Bling. Don't miss it.
翻译:杰尔庞特是爱尔兰现存最宏伟的西多会修道院遗址之一,是爱尔兰/罗马式和早期诺曼式建筑风格的典范。杰尔庞特由当地一个以圣洁著称的家族成员菲利克斯·奥杜拉尼于1180年创建,他本人也葬于此。尽管杰尔庞特历经坎坷,却依然繁荣昌盛。其塔楼和回廊无疑属于15世纪,表明当时的人们拥有充裕的资金、人力、时间和才智,并且远离了克莱尔沃的圣伯纳德(Bernard of Clairvaux)对其僧侣们所倡导的那种简朴生活。居住在杰尔庞特的爱尔兰僧侣们,如同土生土长的盖尔人一样,对自己的创作充满热情。您依然可以感受到,昔日的僧侣们将荣耀归于上帝,以他们的奢华享受生活。千万不要错过。
