Atto (Speyer)

Atto ruled as Bishop of Speyer around 701 to 709. In the official census of Speyer bishops, he is number 6.

Atto is listed in the oldest Speyer bishops list, which was created between 1078 and 1088 in the Schäftlarn Abbey , under the name "Ato" and is only in 8th place. However, the group of the first eight bishops there is incomplete and in disarray.

According to Jakob Baumann ( The Pilgrim , 1906) there are no documents about him and he is only known by name from the aforementioned list of bishops or from tradition. The other available sources say nothing more about Atto than its presumed government data.
