When you do, you'll find that he (his first name is Francis) doesn't.
He does have basic bibliography on D.'s life and career at p. 10, n. 36.
Best introduction to D. probably still H. E. J. Cowdrey, _The Age of Abbot
Desiderius: Montecassino, the Papacy, and the Normans in the Eleventh and
Early Twelfth Centuries_ (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1983).
Best,
John Dillon
