REGINON, or REGINO or PRUM, See also:medieval chronicler, was See also:born at Altripp near See also:Spires, and was educated in the monastery of Prum. Here he became a See also:monk, and in 892, just after the monastery had been sacked by the Danes, he was chosen See also:abbot. In 899, however, he was deprived of this position and he went to See also:Trier, where he was appointed abbot of St See also:Martin's, a See also:house which he reformed. He died in 915, and was buried in the See also:abbey of St Maximin at Trier, his See also:tomb being discovered there in 1581. Reginon wrote a Chronicon, dedicated to See also:Adalberon, See also:bishop of See also:Augsburg (d. 909), which deals with the See also:history of the See also:world from the commencement of the See also:Christian era to 906, especially the history of affairs in See also:Lorraine and the neighbourhood. The first See also:book (to 741) consists mainly of extracts from See also:Bede, See also:Paulus Diaconus and other writers; of the second book (741—906) the latter See also:part is See also:original and valuable, although the See also:chronology is at See also:fault and the author relied chiefly upon tradition and hearsay for his See also:information. The See also:work was continued to 967 by a monk of Trier, possibly See also:Adalbert, See also:archbishop of See also:Magdeburg (d. 981). The See also:chronicle was first published at See also:Mainz in 1521; another edition is in See also:Band I. of the Monumenta Germaniae historica. Scriptores (1826); the best is the one edited by F. Kurze (See also:Hanover, 189o).

It has been translated into See also:

German by W. See also:Wattenbach (See also:Leipzig, 189o). Reginon also See also:drew up at the See also:request of his friend and See also:patron Radbod, archbishop of Trier (d. 915), a collection of canons, Libri duo de synodalibus causis et disciplinis ecclesiasticis, dedicated to Hatto I., archbishop of Mainz; this is published in Tome 132 of J. P. See also:Migne's Patrologia See also:Latina. To Radbod he wrote a See also:letter on See also:music, Epistola de See also:harmonica institutione, with a Tonarius, the See also:object of this being to improve the singing in the churches of the See also:diocese. The letter is published in Tome I. of See also:Gerbert's Scriptores ecclesiastici de musica sacra (1784), and the Tonarius in Tome II. of Coussemaker's Scriptores de musica medii aevi. See also H.
