Lietbertus de Insulis - ca. 1110 (VIAF: 2860572) - auteur
Lietbertus of Saint-Ruf (d. probably around 1110) was a Southern French abbot, who wrote a commentary on the Psalter, the Flores Psalmorum. Little is known about the author, who apparently was a canon in Lille. The text begins with a preface by a certain 'G., Magalonensis episcopus', writing to the provost of Lille to concede any of Lietbertus' requests in the process of writing this book. A later hand added in the initial 'G' the rest of the name: 'alterus', which was taken over by later annotators, including De Visch's seventeenth-century title. He also explained some other monoliteral names, such as 'Romane' for 'R.' and 'Letberti' for 'L.' The name Galterus refers to Walter of Lille, who held the position of bishop of Maguelone from 1104 to 1129. The text is written in a sober style in two columns. Only the initials and the (rare) incipits and explicits have been added in red, without any additional decoration. The parchment is of mediocre quality, with several leaves showing holes around which the text has been positioned. On the verso of the final leaf an contemporary ownership inscription of Ten Duinen is found, while the abbey's cross-shaped stamp is present twice in the manuscript. The cover consists of brown leather over wooden boards, showing a blindstamped diamond pattern within a rectangular frame. The position of two clasps, now lost, is visible.
