Talk:Rabanus Maurus

Art?
The section on art is singularly vague, uninformative, incorrect, and almost pejorative--clearly written by someone who never actually looked at De Laudibus and has no knowledge of the Cult of the Cross and figure poems. Perhaps there is a Rabanus officinado who cares to remove the text and rewrite it completely.Drmies (talk) 04:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I've deleted the section--the relevant information was already in the article, and I've moved the URL leading to images of De laudibus to the notes. Drmies (talk) 16:25, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

De rerum naturis
My Latin is not perfect, but wouldn't a more proper translation be "On things of Nature"? Lucretius' work "De Rerum Natura" translates to "On the nature of things" and I believe I have read that in order both to distinguish the two and in accordance with proper grammar, this work is often translated "On things of Nature" or "Of things of nature". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.151.3 (talk) 16:27, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Gottschalk?
I'm surprised that there's no mention of his relation to Gottschalk in this article. Gottschalk's page mentions Rabanus a couple of times. Is it not important enough to add here? Aristophanes 68  (talk)  20:28, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

De Procincta Romaniae Militiae
From De Re Militari: "De Re Militari came to the forefront in the late Carolingian period through Hrabanus Maurus (d. 856), who used the text for his own manual De Procincta Romaniae Militiae, composed for Lothair II of Lotharingia (r. 855-869)." Should this work be added? Heavenlyblue (talk) 21:10, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Plagiarism
Out of interest, M R James noted a criticism of Rabanus by William of Malmesbury: https://archive.org/details/McGillLibrary-hssl_two-anicent-english-scholars_da177j3-10982/page/n22/mode/1up Shtove 18:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
