Rudolf of St Trond

Rudolf of St Trond[1] (c. 1070–1138) was a Benedictine abbot of St Trond Abbey, chronicler and composer.[2]

A musical treatise Quaestiones in musica was attributed to him by Rudolf Steglich;[3] another suggestion is Franco of Liège.[4]

He wrote a chronicle Gesta Abbatum Trudonensium, on the abbots of his abbey, beginning in 999;[5] it is included in the Paleographie musicale and the Monumenta Germaniae Historica. His description of monastic life includes details of musical practice and training methods of Guido of Arezzo.[6] Historian Henri de Lubac wrote that he showed "a very exacting and almost combative idea of historical truth."[7]
