## Commentary

Barely older than the nave is the surviving north wing of the cloisters, whose wide arcades are articulated by strong semi-circular responds. Abbot Ardain was laid to rest here in 1156. He commissioned the building of the ground floor of the narthex and the nave, and was later canonized.
