Why this is in the register
The English Fulbert is Frederick Behrends's 'The letters and poems of Fulbert of Chartres' (Oxford Medieval Texts, 1976), and both its title and its catalogue record limit the English corpus to letters and poems (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Fulbert%20Chartres%20letters%20Behrends&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 1 record). A query on Fulbert's sermons returns two records, neither a translation: a 2021 Harvard thesis on the cult of St Anne and a Penguin Abelard-Heloise volume (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Fulbert%20of%20Chartres%20sermons&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 2 records). Migne PL 141, Fulbert's volume, prints 'Sermones' at col. 347 and a further section 'Sermones tres dubii' (https://archive.org/details/patrologiaecursu0141mign). The standard account of Fulbert singles out 'Approbate consuetudinis' as his most famous sermon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulbert_of_Chartres). No English translation of the sermons was located.
Fulbert's sermons, above all the one on the feast of Mary's Nativity, are the main witness to the liturgical and theological work of the Chartres school in the generation before 1028, and they are the place where the diocesan reform programme that Fulbert ran in his letters is actually preached. Because Behrends translated only the letters and poems, the register's Fulbert file is complete on one side and empty on the other.
