Included in this repack are Peter of Celle's two sermons (Sermons 65 and 66 ) on the Transfiguration of the Lord.  See the links above for the original posts. As I have been having trouble with my Scribd documents being inexplicably unavailable for download for anyone but me (though, oddly, they are still readable when embedded in a blog-post), I am switching to the Internet Archive for document sharing.  If issues with Scribd continue, I will switch my previous documents to Internet Archive as well.
