Bernard Itier

Bernard Itier[a] (1163–1225) was a French Benedictine monk, librarian, copyist and chronicler at the abbey of Saint Martial in Limoges.

[2][3] Bernard was the sub-librarian (subarmarius) of the abbey from 1195 and then chief librarian (armarius) from 1204 until his death.

[2][3] The most important is the long series of notes in the margins of the manuscript BnF Latin 1338.

[b] Some modern editors have gathered all his notes together and published them in chronological order, but the marginalia of Latin 1338 can also be regarded as forming a chronicle on their own.

In another note, he lists fourteen castles belonging to the viscount of Limoges that were besieged by Richard's forces in 1199.
