Berengaudus

Berengaudus (840–892) was a Benedictine monk, supposed author of Expositio super septem visiones libri Apocalypsis, a Latin commentary on the Book of Revelation.

[2] He has traditionally been assumed to be a monk of Ferrières Abbey, at the time of Lupus Servatus.

The attribution has been questioned, but the Expositio was later (by the 12th century) much circulated in manuscript.

[5] It has also been said that "Berengaudus" was a contemporary of Anselm of Laon; and that he was somewhat earlier, c. 1040.

But Visser argues from familiarity with the commentary of Haimo of Auxerre, and internal evidence of an acrostic, that the traditional identification is valid.

In this page from the Douce Apocalypse , c. 1270, the small writing translates (into French) text from the Berengaudus commentary, to go with the Latin text [ 1 ]
