On 1 September 2004 the Catholic University of Nijmegen was renamed the
Radboud University Nijmegen in Radbod's honor. A Latin-Dutch bilingual
edition, by Peter Nissen and Vincent Hunink, of the _Vita Radbodi_
(Nijmegen: Uitgeverij Vantilt, 2004) was issued to coincide with this
hopefully auspicious event. This was followed by a Latin-English
bilingual edition published by the university for its own use. See:

This page includes a brief extract from the English-language
translation, a photograph of the presentation of a copy of that edition
to his late holiness, pope John Paul II, early in 2005, and (perhaps of
greater interest to others on this list), a link to an online
presentation of the Latin text as edited by O. Holder-Egger in MGH
Scriptores, vol. 15, 569-571c:
