The aim of this paper is to present a construction of the vanishing cycles of a holonomic \({\mathcal D}\)-module on a hypersurface: first, given a complex manifold X and a smooth hypersurface Y in it, there is defined a sheaf of rings \(\hat {\mathcal D}^ 2_{\Lambda}\) on the canonical bundle \(T^*_ YX\); then it is proved that if \({\mathcal M}\) is a holonomic \({\mathcal D}_ X\)-module, then the module \(\hat {\mathcal M}^ 2\) obtained from \({\mathcal M}\) by extension of the scalars to \(\hat {\mathcal D}^ 2_{\Lambda}\) induces on Y a coherent \({\mathcal D}_ Y\)-module isomorphic to the vanishing cycles of \({\mathcal M}\).
