The MGH edition is digitised in full at https://www.dmgh.de/mgh_ss_34/index.htm#page/(1); the last chapter (IV 130) deals with the opening of the 1130 schism.
Four books covering Monte Cassino from the foundation to the 1130s, and the single most important source for the abbey's estates, its scriptorium and its relations with the papacy, the Normans and the German emperors. It is also the master text of Benedictine monastic historiography, and an English reader has no access to any of it.
