Biography/Description |
|
Provost of the canon regulars of St. Florian from 1212 until his death in 1221/23, published three canonistic works, composed in part in hexameters (d.1221/23). Among them is the Medulla, perhaps the oldest known canonistic monograph. It survives in an earlier version which Altmann later expanded by including verses. Four different recensions of the text circulated. Altmann also composed a procedural ordo (1204/5) which shows resemblances to that of Eilbert of Bremen whom he probably knew personally. His principal work, however, was the Ysagoge, a versified introduction into canon law. |
