Shark tulph

Haistulph , also Haistulf or Atulfe († December 28, 825 ) was Archbishop of Mainz from 813 to 825 .

Haistulph's date of birth is uncertain. Possibly he was of Lombard origin. Haistulph was a student of his predecessor Lul . He succeeded his predecessor Richulf in 813. Haistulph maintained close relationships with the Fulda Abbey and its abbots . On December 23 of the following year he consecrated Hrabanus Maurus , who was later to succeed him to the episcopal see of Mainz, as a priest . (→ Annales Fuldenses ) Haistulph suggested the creation of De institutione clericorum and the Matthäus commentaries, which were dedicated to him and a collection of sermons ( MGH Poetae, vol. 2, pp. 162f.). The copy of De laudibus sanctae crucis he requested was only given to his successor Otgar because of his passing (MGH Poetae, vol. 2, p. 162). On November 1, 819, he consecrated as the responsible diocesan according to the procedure laid down in the Zacharias privilege on invitatio (invitation) Abbot Eigil and the Fulda Convention with the participation of his choir bishop Humbert , the later bishop of Würzburg , which was built by Ratgar , completed and converted by Eigil Two crypts enriched the Salvator basilica in Fulda and transferred the relics of Boniface to the altar grave of the western apse . Among those present was Deocar , Abbot of Herrieden and later saint. 820 was made with his express permission, the translation of the Lioba of Tauberbischofsheim for Ignatius altar in the south aisle, where they together with the Gründerabt Sturmi was buried. In the following year he consecrated other altars and on January 15, 822 the burial church of St. Michael designed by Hrabanus Maurus . Both events held firmly in Hraban consecration notes that Candidus of Fulda in the Vita Abt Eigils has handed down, where the consecration ceremony is described in detail. Little is known about Haistulph's further work. Like his predecessor, he promoted Bleidenstadt Monastery (MGH Poetae, vol. 2, p. 225) and Hersfeld Monastery , although the latter was withdrawn from him by Ludwig the Pious and placed under his own abbot, Brunward I.

Haistulph died, according to the Hildesheim Chronicle , quoted by Nicolaus Serarius and the Fuldaer Totenannalen, on December 28, 825. His tomb was in the later destroyed St. Alban Abbey near Mainz . The epitaph was written by Hrabanus Maurus (MGH Poetae, vol. 2, p. 237), who puts him on a par with his predecessors Lul and Richulf and already sees him in heaven with his companion on earth, Christ.
