Werner II of St. Blasien

In the woodcut of print 1494 the abbot presents his book to the king of heaven.

Werner II of St. Blasien († May 27, 1178 in St. Blasien ) was abbot in the monastery of St. Blasien in the southern Black Forest from 1170 to 1178 . Unreliable early modern tradition claims that he came from the family of the later Counts of Küssenberg .

It is by no means certain that he wrote the work Deflorationes seu exerptiones ex melliflua diversorum Patrum , which was ascribed to him in the Basler Druck in 1494 . With a certification (between September 1177 and May 1178) by Abbot Hugo III. von Cluny decided to form a prayer fraternity with Abbot Werner II and the convent .
