Herimannus Tornacensis

Sex: M- Bio: 1094/5 oblate, later monk, 1127-1137 abbot of Saint Martin's monastery in Tournai (?ca.1090/+ca.1147). According tot the seventeenth century canons Jean Couchin and Antoine Sanderus, he was also the author of the 'Historiae Tornacenses' (NaSo H048) (see De la Grange, 1884). d'Haenens (1986), however, oposes this view. Whatever the case, Herman of Tournai was probably involved in the production of the text (De Grieck, 2009). -Status author (order, function): Benedictine Monks (OSB)
