RUDOLPH, or RAOUL , known as RuuoLPH GLABER (Rudolph the Bald) (d. c. 1o5o), See also:French chronicler, was See also:born in See also:Burgundy about 985, and was in turn an inmate of the monasteries of St Leger at See also:Champeaux and St Benigne at See also:Dijon, afterwards entering the famous See also:abbey of See also:Cluny, and becoming a See also:monk at St Germain at See also:Auxerre before 1039. He also appears to have visited See also:Italy. His Historiarum sui temporis libri V., dedicated to St Odilon, See also:abbot of Cluny, purports to be a universal See also:history from 90o to 1044; but is an irregular narration of events in See also:France and Burgundy. Rudolph was a strong believer in the approaching end of the See also:world. The Historiarum was first printed in 1596, and published by A. See also:Duchesne in the Historiae Francorum Scriptores, tome iv. (See also:Paris, 1639-49). Extracts are printed in the Monumenta Germaniae historica, See also:Band vii. ; but perhaps the best edition of the See also:work is the one edited by M. Prou in the Collection de textes pour servir a l'etude et l'enseignement de l'histoire (Paris, 1886). Rudolph also wrote a Vita S.

Gulielmi, abbatis S. Benigni, published by J. See also:

Mabillon in the Acta Sanctorum, tome vi. (Paris, 1668). See A. See also:Molinier, See also:Les See also:Sources de l'histoire de France, tome ii.(Paris, 1902) ; and A. See also:Potthast, Bibliotheca historica (See also:Berlin, 1896).
