Wigbod

Wigbod (Latin: Wigbodus, also known as Wigbald or Wigbold) was a theological writer of the eighth century.

As Charlemagne is only called "king of the Franks and Lombards" in the work, not Emperor, it must have been written before the year 800.

Wigbold, however, did not compose these answers himself, but gives verbatim, statements by eight Church Fathers: St. Augustine, St. Gregory, St. Jerome, St. Ambrose, St.Hilary of Poitiers, St. Isidore of Seville, St. Eucherius and St. Junilius.

The two members of the Congregation of Saint-Maur, Martène and Durand, who found the manuscript in the monastery of St. Maximin of Trier, have, therefore, only given the portion to the first three chapters of Genesis in their Collectio amplissima, IX, (Paris, 1733), 295–366.

Martène and Durand mention Wigbald, who was vice-chancellor under the chancellors Itherius and Rado, and Widbod, who was Count of Périgueux about 778.
