Rudolf of St Trond

Rudolf of St Trond [Rodulf, Rodolfus, Rodolphe, Radulphus, Rudolph, Raoul.] (c.1070 - 1138) was a Benedictine abbot of St Trond Abbey, chronicler and composer [ [http://utopia.knoware.nl/users/ikedl/chant/ike/composers/Radulphus_de_StTrond_comp.htm Radulphus of St. Trond ] ] .

A musical treatise "Quaestiones in musica" was attributed to him by Rudolf Steglich; another suggestion is Franco of Liège [Dolores Pesce, "The Affinities and Medieval Transposition" (1987), pp. 39-40.] .

He wrote a chronicle "Gesta Abbatum Trudonensium", on the abbots of his abbey, beginning in 999 [ [http://perso.infonie.be/liege06/04quatrez.htm Sources ] ] . As a historian, according to Henri de Lubac ["Medieval Exegesis" (1988 translation), p. 73.] , he showed "a very exacting and almost combative idea of historical truth".
