Description: | Paschasius Radbertus (died c.860) was for about seven years abbot of the French abbey of Corbie, but he resigned this post because of a dispute, and this allowed him to devote more time to study and writing. His works included a biography and several commentaries on biblical texts, including the Old Testament book of Lamentations. This copy was owned by, and probably written at, the Benedictine abbey at Reading.
