> Today (4. February) is the feast day of:
>
> Hrabanus Maurus (d. 856) I find it hard to think of Hrabanus as a saint; I
> side with Gottschalk. Still, Hrabanus was one of the most important
> churchmen of the ninth century, born in Mainz in c. 780, very well educated
> at Fulda and Tours. He was abbot of Fulda 822-42, then abdicated (probably
> for political reasons) and devoted himself to his theological writings. In
> 847 Hrabanus became archbishop of Mainz. Perhaps his most lasting work is
> the hymn Veni creator Spiritus.
>
And let it not be forgotten that he compiled a fascinating "Latin-barbaric" glossary of terms for body parts, months and winds.
