Rabanus Maurus Magnentius (c. 780 – 4 February 856), also known as Hrabanus… Read Full Bio ↴Rabanus Maurus Magnentius (c. 780 – 4 February 856), also known as Hrabanus or Rhabanus, was a Frankish Benedictine monk, the archbishop of Mainz in Germany and a theologian. He was the author of the encyclopaedia De rerum naturis (On the Nature of Things). He also wrote treatises on education and grammar and commentaries on the Bible. He was one of the most prominent teachers and writers of the Carolingian age. On the Roman calendar (Martyrologium Romanum, 2001, pp. 126f.), he is celebrated on 4 February and listed as 'sanctus,' though the online version of the Catholic Encyclopedia of nearly a century earlier lists him as 'beatus.'
Rabanus was born of noble parents in Mainz. The date of his birth is uncertain, but in 801 he received a deacons order at Fulda in Hesse, where he had been sent to school. In the following year, at the insistence of Ratgar, his abbot, he went together with Haimon (later of Halberstadt) to complete his studies at Tours. He studied there under Alcuin, who in recognition of his diligence and purity gave him the surname of Maurus, after Saint Maurus the favourite disciple of Benedict. Returning to Fulda two years later, he was entrusted with the principal charge of the school, which under his direction rose into a state of great efficiency for that age, and sent forth such pupils at Walafrid Strabo, Servatus Lupus of Ferrières and Otfrid of Weissenburg. At this period it is most probable that his excerption from the grammar of Priscian—a popular text book during the middle ages—was compiled.
In 814 Rabanus was ordained a priest. Shortly afterwards, apparently on account of disagreement with Ratgar, he was compelled to withdraw for a time from Fulda. This banishment is understood to have occasioned the pilgrimage to Palestine to which he alludes in his commentary on Joshua. He returned to Fulda on the election of a new abbot (Eigil) in 817, upon whose death in 822 he himself became abbot. He was efficient and successful in this role until 842, when, in order to secure greater leisure for literature and for devotion, he resigned and retired to the neighbouring cloister of St Petersberg.
In 847, Rabanus was again constrained to enter public life by his election to succeed Otgar in the archbishopric of Mainz. He died at Winkel on the Rhine in 856.

Veni, creator spiritus,
mentes tuorum visita,
imple superna gratia
quae tu creasti pectora.
Qui diceris paraclitus,
altissimi donum dei,
fons vivus, ignis, caritas,
et spiritalis unctio.
Tu, septiformis munere,
digitus paternae dexterae,
tu rite promissum patris,
sermone ditans guttura.
Accende lumen sensibus:
infunde amorem cordibus:
infirma nostri corporis
virtute firmans perpeti.
Hostem repellas longius,
pacemque dones protinus:
Ductore sic te praevio
vitemus omne noxium.
Per te sciamus da patrem,
noscamus atque filium;
Teque utriusque spiritum
credamus omni tempore.
Deo patri sit gloria,
et filio, qui a mortuis
surrexit, ac paraclito,
in saeculorum saecula.
Amen

“Veni Sancte Spiritus is one of only four medieval Sequences which were preserved in the Roman Missal published in 1570 following the Council of Trent (1545–63). Before Trent, many feasts had their own sequences. It is still sung today in some parishes on Pentecost Sunday.”
