Reginald of Canterbury

Reginald of Canterbury (died after 1109) was a medieval French writer and Benedictine monk who lived and wrote in England in the very early part of the 12th century.

Reginald's major work was an epic poem in six books on the life of Malchus, a late antique Syrian saint whose first biographer was Jerome.

Reginald, a native of France, was born roughly about 1050 in a place usually called Fagia, which may be the modern Faye-la-Vineuse in Poitou.

[2] Reginald's major work was an epic poem in six books on the life of Malchus, a late antique Syrian saint whose first biographer was Jerome.

Reginald's work, entitled Malchus,[1] or Vita Sancti Malchi,[2] exists in two versions, the first of which consists of 1706 lines and survives at Oxford University as Merton College manuscript (MS) 241.
