His main work, produced around 1023, is an educational collection entitled Fecunda Ratis ("The Richly Laden Ship"), divided into two parts, the "Prora" (Prow), containing proverbs and classical and secular stories, and the "Puppis" (Poop deck) with extracts from biblical and patristic writers.
[1] The collection contains the earliest known precursor of the Little Red Riding Hood story, entitled "De puella a lupellis servata".
An English translation by Robert Gary Babcock has been published as book 25 in the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library (Harvard University Press, 2013).
An extract describes the origins of the red riding hood:[3] Quidam suscepit sacro de fonte puellam, Cui dedit et tunicam rubicundo uellere textam.
Quinquagesima sancta fuit babtismatis huius, Somebody raised the girl from the baptismal font, and gave to her a riding hood woven from red wool.
