Rudolf of Fulda

Who was Rudolf of Fulda?

Rudolf of Fulda was a monk of the Benedictine order during the Carolingian period in the ninth century. Rudolf devoted his life-work to the monastery of Fulda which is located in the present day German state of Hesse. Many of the works composed by Rudolf of Fulda have not withstood the test of time. However, we are fortunate enough to have surviving copies of Rudolf’s Annals of Fulda and Vita Leobae,. These works document his contribution to the monastery, to history, and establishes Rudolf of Fulda as one of the most well-learned scholars of his time.
