Adelard of Ghent information


Adelard of Ghent was an early 11th-century monk and hagiographer from the Benedictine monastery Saint Peter's Abbey, Ghent, now in modern-day Belgium.[1]

He was commissioned by Archbishop Ælfheah of Canterbury to produce a piece of hagiography on Saint Dunstan.[2] Sometime between 1006 and 1011, Adelard composed a series of twelve lections to be used as liturgy for the office of matins on the feast-day of St Dunstan (19 May) for Ælfheah.[3] Adelard wrote the lections at his home monastery at St Peter's.[4]
