medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

A text of Frederic’s hymn/prayer can be found in Monumenta Germaniae Historica, SS. XV, 350 (online http://www.mgh.de/ ). 

 

I hope this is what you were looking for.

All the best,

Butler's Lives mentions a prayer to the Trinity by Frederick. This information would seem to come from his medieval Vita included in the Acta Sanctorum, though Russell considers the story "very questionable" (J. B. Russell, Dissent and Reform in the Early Middle Ages, 2005, p. 161, esp. n. 20).

Dear Colleagues

I've been asked about a hymn in honour of the Trinity apparently written by St Frederik I, (Frideric), bishop of Utrecht and martyr (fl. ca. 820-835). 

The hymn is mentioned, without reference, in most of the popular accounts about him, but I haven't managed to track down a text. I had a look at his entry in Acta Sanctorum (1725 ed., Iulii t. 4:452-471), which quotes some hymns about Frederik, but none by him. I also tried the version of Analecta hymnica medii aevi online at archive.org without success (the 57 vols seem to me almost impossible to use as they are found there and I don't have access to the commercial database version.)

I'm afraid I don't have a title or incipit. Can anyone guide me to the text on the basis of this sparse information? Many thanks. -- Paul
