Lietbertus of Saint-Ruf
Lietbertus (Letbert, Lambert) of St. Ruf was the abbot of Saint-Ruf, in the diocese of Avignon, from 1100 to 1110.[1]
Letbert was the author of a commentary on the Psalms called Flores Psalmorum.[2] He also wrote the customs for or of St Ruf (the Liber ecclesiastici et canonici ordinis). These customs were based upon the monastic recommendations of St. Augustine, and were a great influence on other houses of regular canons which would become the Augustinian Order.[3][4]
Letbert was educated at the collegiate church of St. Peter in Lille, which was dedicated in 1066 - hence his other cognomen, Letbert of Lille.
