Born in Durham, England, in 1943, Bell attended Leeds and received a doctorate from Oxford in 1971; he devoted his adult scholarly life to Cistercian Studies. Rare was his mastery of early modern Cisterciensia as well as the medieval patrimony of the movement. Several of Bell's works were on the Trappist abbot de Rancé. Bell was married to Terryl N. Kinder, also an authority on Cistercian history. He taught at Memorial University of Newfoundland, publishing 34 books and hundreds of articles. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He was Anglican and served as a deacon at the Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Here is the obituary Terryl Kinder wrote for her husband.

Pater Alkuin,

Gruess Gott. I'm perusing David Bell's book 'Cloud of Witnesses' and googled his name and find myself here. Gottes Vorsehen kann komisch spielen.
Ich hoffe alles Ihnen gut geht und auch allen im Heiligen Kreuz.
P Anthony O'Leary, C.P.
