Rabanus Maurus Magnentius (c. 780 - 4 February 856), also referred to as Hrabanus or even Rhabanus, was the Benedictine monk, the archbishop of Mainz in Germany and a theologian. He was andy skinner of the encyclopaedia On the Nature of Items. He likewise wrote treatises in education & grammar & comment on the Bible. He was one of a virtually all large teachers & writers of the Carolingian age. He has been incorrectly known as St Rabanus.

Rabanus was natural of noble parents around Mainz. the date of his birth is uncertainside, however in 801 he received a deacons the correct sequence at Fulda in Hesse, where he got been sent to school. In a as punishment season, at the insistence of Ratgar, his abbot, he went together using Haimon (late of Halberstadt) to complete his studies at Tours. He exposed there under Alcuin, who inside recognition of his diligence & purity gave him a cognomen of Maurus, when St Maur the favourite adherent of Benedict. Giving to Fuldthe deuce years late, he was entrusted using a chief charge of the school, which under his counsel rose into a state of groovy efficiency for that age, & sent forth river such pupils at Walafrid Strabo, Servatus Lupus of Ferrières and Otfrid of Weissenburg. At this time period these are virtually all likely that his excerpt from either a grammar of Priscian—a popular text book during a middle ages—was compiled.

Inside 814 Rabanus was ordained the priest. Shortly later, apparently in account of disagreement by owning Ratgar, he was compelled to withdraw for the instance from either Fulda. This banishment is understood to own occasioned a pilgrim's journey to Palestine to which he alludes in his comment in Joshua. He returned to Fuldthe on the election of a freshly archimandrite (Eigil) within 817, upon whose demise in 822 he himself became archimandrite. He was effective & successful therein role until 842, whilst, sequentially to assure greater leisure for literature & for devotion, he resigned & retired to the neighboring cloister of St Peters.

Around 847, Rabanus was once more forced to enter public life by his election to succeed Otgar in the archbishopric of Mainz. He died at Winkel on the Rhine around 856.

Within De institutione clericorum he brought into prominence the views of Augustine & Gregory a Peachy when to the how to videos which was needed for a perfect discharge of the clerical work; the virtually all popular has been a relatively wretched tract De laudibus sanctae crucis.
