MARTIN (172o-1793) , See also:German theologian, historian and writer on See also:music, belonged to the See also:noble See also:family of Gerbert von Hornau, and was See also:born at Horb on the See also:Neckar, See also:Wurttemberg, on the 12th (or 11th or 13th) of See also:August 1720. He was educated at See also:Freiburg in the See also:Breisgau, at Klingenau in See also:Switzerland and at the See also:Benedictine See also:abbey of St Blasien in the See also:Black See also:Forest, where in 1737 he took the vows. In 1744 he was ordained See also:priest, and immediately afterwards appointed See also:professor, first of See also:philosophy and later of See also:theology. Between 1754 and 1764 he published a See also:series of theological See also:treatises, their See also:main tendency being to modify the rigid scholastic See also:system by an See also:appeal to the Fathers, notably See also:Augustine; from 1759 to 1762 he travelled in See also:Germany, See also:Italy and See also:France, mainly with a view to examining the collections of documents in the various monastic See also:libraries. In 1764 he was elected See also:prince-See also:- ABBOT (from the Hebrew ab, a father, through the Syriac abba, Lat. abbas, gen. abbatis, O.E. abbad, fr. late Lat. form abbad-em changed in 13th century under influence of the Lat. form to abbat, used alternatively till the end of the 17th century; Ger.

abbot of St Blasien, and proved himself a See also:model ruler both as abbot and prince. His examination of archives during his travels had awakened in him a See also:taste for See also:historical See also:research, and under his See also:rule St
Blasien became a notable centre of the methodical study of See also:history; it was here that Marquard Herrgott wrote his Monumenta domus Austriacae, of which the first two volumes were edited, for the second edition, by Gerbert, who also published a Codex epistolaris Rudolphi I., Romani regis (1772) and De Rudolpho Suevico comite de Rhinfelden, duce et rege, deque ejus familia (1785). It was, however, in sacramental theology, liturgiology, and notably ecclesiastical music that Gerbert was mainly interested. In 1774 he published two volumes De See also:cantu et musica sacra; in 1777, Monumenta veteris liturgiae Alemannicae; and in 1784, in three volumes, Scriptores ecclesiastici de musica sacra, a collection of the See also:principal writers on See also:- CHURCH

church music from the 3rd See also:century till the invention of See also:printing. The materials for this See also:work he had gathered during his travels, and although it contains many textual errors, its publication has been of See also:great importance for the history of music, by preserving writings which might either have perished or remained unknown. His See also:interest in music led to his acquaintance with the composer See also:Gluck, who became his intimate friend.
As a prince of the See also:Empire Gerbert was devoted to the interests of the See also:house of See also:Austria; as a Benedictine abbot he was opposed to See also:Joseph II.'s church policy. In the Febronian controversy (see See also:FEBRONIANIsM) he had . See also:early taken a mediating attitude, and it was largely due to his See also:influence that See also:Bishop See also:Hontheim had been induced to retract his extreme views.
In 1768 the abbey of St Blasien, with the library and church, was burnt to the ground, and the splendid new church which See also:rose on the ruins of the old (1783) remained until its destruction by See also:fire in 1874, at once a See also:monument of Gerbert's taste in See also:architecture and of his See also:Habsburg sympathies. It was at his See also:request that it was made the See also:mausoleum of all the See also:Austrian princes buried outside Austria, whose remains were solemnly transferred to its vaults. In connexion with its See also:consecration he published his Historia Nigrae Silvae, ordinis S. Benedicti coloniae (3 vols., St Blasien, 1783).
Gerbert, who was beloved and respected by Catholics and Protestants alike, died on the 3rd of May 1793.
