Topic: Notker



  
 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Notker
It is characteristic of Notker that at his dying request the poor were fed, and that he asked to be buried in the clothes which he was wearing in order that none might see the heavy chain with which he had been in the habit of mortifying his body.
(The reason for this name is uncertain.) Between 881-887 Notker dedicated a collection of such verses to Bishop Liutward of Vercelli, but it is not known which or how many are his.
This celebrated monk is not mentioned by the otherwise prolix historians of St. Gall.

 Notker's Sequences
What Notker did was to write words for them, and he tells us himself how he came to do it, in a letter addressed to Bishop Luitward, to whom he dedicated a volume of these compositions.
Among those who thus occupied themselves in the ninth century was a monk named Notker, whom Walafrid, then Dean of St. Gall's, strongly urged to devote himself to sacred poetry.
Notker himself composed thirty-five of them; and one which still finds a place in our own Burial Service, the " Media vita in morte," is traditionally ascribed to him, and said to have been written while watching some workmen building

 Source of Names and Number of Days in the Week
There's an alternate explanation for how the same heavenly objects came to be used to name days of the week in their present order.
Note the German day name of "Mittwoch" instead of "Mercury Day." This came about because sometime around A.D. 1020 a Monk named Notker coined the term in mittauuechun (in the middle of the week) as a substitute for using the pagan god Mercury's name.

 MUSL 242: Notker "the Stammerer" on Sequences
Inspired by the sequencing works brought to his attention by a priest from Jumieges, Notker wrote the above referenced Liber Hymnorum, a book of hymns in which the text or liturgy is written syllabically under the long mellismas.
Notker of St. Gall, familarly known as Notker Balbus, or Notker the Stammerer, was a monk of the Benedictine abbey of St. Gall.
His melodies become only a vehicle for his sacred texts, and the beauty of his words far outweigh the strength of his melodies.

Waiting in line at the publisherâs is an edition of classic literary-historical essays by the latter; a bit further back is the current project: a book on Freudâs version of humanism and its discontents for the 20th century - and beyond.
His work has been centered upon the metamorphoses of humanistic studies, humanist thought, and hum-anist values, as they develop from premodernity, through modernity, to the threshold of postmodernity.
It has explored in particular the status of humanism, rhetoric, and philology in the work of Notker Labeo, Gottfried von Stra§burg, Nicolaus Dybinus, Johannes de Tepla, Reuchlin, Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, Sigmund Freud, and Friedrich Ohly.
