Gauderich from Velletri

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gauderich (lat. Gaudericus ) von Velletri (* first half of the 9th century; † around 897) was a Roman clergyman and bishop of Velletri.

Life

Gauderich von Velletri belonged together with Johannes Hymmonides and Anastasius Bibliothecarus to the intellectual elite of Rome in the second half of the 9th century.

Together with Hymmonides and Stephan von Nepi he was banished from Rome in 867, but shortly afterwards, after the mediation of Pope Hadrian II, he was pardoned again by Emperor Ludwig II .

Presumably he belonged with Anastasius to the papal embassy at the fourth council of Constantinople (869-870).

Pope John VIII sent Gauderich together with Formosus of Porto and John of Arezzo to see Charles the Bald in 875 to invite him to Rome for the coronation of the emperor.

Gauderich had Johannes Hymmonides write a biography of St. Clement of Rome . However, Hymmonides died without being able to finish this work, which Gauderich then undertook himself, as he writes in a letter to Pope John VIII.
