Rudolf of St Trond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf of St Trond[1] (c.1070 - 1138) was a Benedictine abbot of St Trond Abbey, chronicler and composer[2].

A musical treatise Quaestiones in musica was attributed to him by Rudolf Steglich; another suggestion is Franco of Liège[3].

He wrote a chronicle Gesta Abbatum Trudonensium, on the abbots of his abbey, beginning in 999[4]. As a historian, according to Henri de Lubac[5], he showed a very exacting and almost combative idea of historical truth.
