Rodulfus Tortarius

Rodulfus Tortarius[1] (c. 1063 in Gien – c. 1122) was a French Benedictine monk of the Abbey of Fleury-sur-Loire, and a poet writing in Latin. A very early version of the story of Amys and Amylion occurs in his work.[2]

He versified the Facta et dicta memorabilia of Valerius Maximus.[3] His range was from comic tales to hagiography, with a Miracles of Saint Benedict.[4]
