Wolbero (Abbot)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolbero († 1167 ) was Abbot of St. Pantaleon in Cologne from 1147 until his death .

Wolbero is mainly known from a letter to Abbot Suger of Saint-Denis († 1151). From the letter it can be seen that both men must have met. This could have happened in 1148 at the Council of Reims . However, there is no further evidence for the corresponding assumption by Jean Mabillon (1739).

Wolbero wrote - after the dedication letter for the nuns of a monastery on an island in the Rhine - a commentary on the Song for edification . In 1630 the text was published in Cologne by the Benedictine monk Heinrich Gravius ​​under the title “Commentaria vetustissima et profundissima super Canticum Canticorum Salomonis quod hebraice dicitur Sirhasirim. In IV libros distributa: authore R. Ad. by D. Wolberone Abbate S. Pantaleonis intra Coloniam Ord. S. Benedicti. ”.
