Notker Physicus (c. 900 – 12 November 975) was a Benedictine monk at the Abbey of Saint Gall, active as a physician, painter, composer and poet.
Original Latin: Hymnum beatae virgini Die turma voce supplici, Laude Deum per omnia, Ejus canens miracula.
Notker's birth year is unknown; the philologist Udo Kühne [de] estimated it around 900,[1] which is also given by the Great Norwegian Encyclopedia.
[4] Among his students was Balther von Säckingen [de], who dedicated his Vita sancti Fridolin to Notker.
[2] Ekkehard also indicates that Notker authored now lost-poems for royal receptions and at least two extant musical compositions: an office for Saint Othmar, the "Rector aeterni metuende saecli", and a hymn, the "Hymnum beatae virgini".
