Arnold of St. Emmeram
About
Arnold of St. Emmeram (Arnoldus Emmeramensis, Arnoldus de S. Emmeramo) was an early 11th century Benedictine scholar, prior at St. Emmeram's Abbey. He was of noble birth, from the house of Vohburg. In his youth he was an avid reader of the Roman classics, but he turned away from them for fear of being infected by their paganism. His literary taste was still lastingly influenced, and he felt the medieval Latin of the Vita St Emmerami was insufficient, proposing a revision in better Latin. This plan however met with resistance on the part of the monks of the abbey, and Arnoldus was even forced to flee, moving to Magdeburg, where Meginfrid, rector of the local Latin school, took up the project of revising the text of the legend. Arnoldus himself is the author of two books, De miraculis et memoria cultorum St. Emmerami and a work on St. Emmeram in dialogue form.
