REMIGIUS OF AUXERRE
(ca. 841–ca. 908). Carolingian grammarian and teacher, first at the Benedictine school of
Saint-Germain of Auxerre, where he studied with Heiric, later at the cathedral schools of
Reims and Paris. Through Heiric, Remigius was influenced by both Haimo of Auxerre
and Johannes Scottus Eriugena; his life and works represent both the traditional and the
innovative in Carolingian thought and span the change from monastic to cathedral
schools as the primary centers of learning. Among his students at Paris was Odo, later
abbot of Cluny. Remigius wrote commentaries on grammatical and rhetorical works by
Bede, Martianus Capella, and Boethius, as well as commentaries on biblical books,
including Genesis, the Psalms, the Gospels, and perhaps the Pauline epistles. The biblical
exegesis of Remigius has long been intertwined with that of Haimo of Auxerre and is just
now being systematically sorted out. Seen by modern scholars as a protoscholastic,
Remigius was in the vanguard of the gloss tradition of biblical learning.
