Hermann Contractus

About the artist

Also known as Herimanus Augiensis or Hermann von Reichenau, Hermann Contractus was a chronicler, mathematician and poet born in 1013 at Altshausen (Swabia). He died on the island of Reichenau, Lake Constance, 21 September, 1054. He was the son of Count Wolverad II von Altshausen. Being a cripple from birth (hence the surname Contractus) he was powerless to move without assistance, and it was only by the greatest effort that he was able to read and write; but he was so highly gifted intellectually
