Duno from Bamberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duno von Bamberg ( bl. Around 1170) was a prior of the former Benedictine monastery St. Michels in Bamberg in Bavaria .

His name is mentioned in various sources, especially in connection with Hildegard von Bingen , the first representative of German mysticism in the Middle Ages . In 1169/70, Duno and Hildegard were in correspondence, which is particularly interesting for researchers into the feminization of religious language. Part of this correspondence is preserved in a collection of letters from 1566 in the Historisches Museum am Strom.
