Marianus Scotus

Marianus Scotus (1028-82), an early Irish chronicler, who, quitting his country in 1052, became a Benedictine at Cologne in 1058, and settled in the monastery at Fulda. Ten years later he removed to Mainz, where he taught mathematics and theology. He left a Chronicon Universale, which began at the creation and came down to 1082. It was published at Basel in 1559, and by Waitz in 'Monumenta Germaniæ.'—Another Marianus Scotus, famous as a copyist and calligrapher, was abbot of St Peter's at Ratisbon in 1088.
