Eberhard the German


Everardus Alemannus or Teutonicus, also Everard or Eberhard the German, was a German cleric, scholar, grammarian, rhetorician, university professor (magister), rector, and poet. His greatest work was a Latin poem entitled Laborintus ("Labyrinth"). It is a didactic work that endeavours to teach grammar and the finer points of poetic composition: metre, rhyme, and, most importantly, the various forms of medieval hexameter. Its modern editor, Edmond Faral, in Les arts poétiques du XIIe et du XIIIe siècle (Paris, 1924), dated it no later than 1280 and earlier than 1208–1213.
